I know it sounds like a lot of effort, lol, but just working thru my breather/blowby problem at the moment.
Jaz can came in from JEGs. Top/Bottom don't screw off, so not sure how I'm going to jam steel wool into this thing...
With my luck I'd suck it all into the intake if I ran it there. Exhaust evac with catch can might work nice. Vacuum source without really burning the oil if the catch can is working..

Just a follow-up...
Installed catch can today. Cap'd front passenger valve nub and ran rear passenger valve nub to catch can due to poor baffling in valve cover.
Think I found my oil consumption problem. Wasn't rings, ringlands or breather. My oil return line on the Vortech is leaking a bit. Was seeing oil on my passenger breather and was soaked, but that wasn't my leak.
Glad my motor is ok.
