Default Best Oil Catch Can/tank?????

I need a oil catch can. I would prefer one without the breather on top. Who has had good results with a good one. I am looking for one that 0 oil can get past. I cannot have oil in the intake.

Please let me know, I need to buy one ASAP! Thanks.

venting the valve covers and pluging the intake will take care of any chance of oil getting in there... nothing is 100% filtration!!!, and if you run a check valve its just going to make the crankcase pressure waaaaay higher under boost cause it will totally choke it off...

here's what I'm useing https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/398599-pvc-pcv.html

Right now I just run 2 breathers with no pcv. I just installed an LS6 valley cover with the pcv built in.

During long drives, I get slight smoke seeping out from under my hood at idle. I can't stand the smell. Being that I have just a street car, I want it to be smokless! I would sure hate to run 2 catch cans, that could get crowded and expensive!

I just need to find a 100% catch can, somebody has to make one?

I just cannot afford to get oil into the intake at all!

I will have to check out the Moroso unit.

An Ls6 valley cover is different then the ls1 in that it has the pvc breather in the cover. I did it for my application to keep visible hoses to a minimum.

MOR-85465 and weld on another -10 male fitting and run one from each v/c. That's how mine is. Have it tucked up under the passenger front wheel well.

The Mckinney looks like the best I have seen.
