No reason why it shouldn't work. Nice job on a homemade item.

looks good but seems like you would have to empty it quite often

Depends how bad the oil problem is. But to that point, it would be nice if there was a drain valve on there.

I had one of those. Eventually, the oil broke down the gizmo. It worked well while it stayed together though.

yeah even on the sticker it had, it said no oil, gas or other fluids, made for water. however thats under pressure this should last for awhile, and I got it sligthy away from the head so it shouldnt get to hot.

I guess i will find out, it does have a drain push pin at the end of it, however i am not sure if i can reach it.

hopefully I wont be catching lots of oil if any, and I will empty it out ever oil change.

Since I have used the gm top end cleaner, new pcv vavle, and this catch can today, the car seems to not have any pining at low rpms and feels stronger up top.
