ok but it traps the oil and doesn't allow it to your intake which then robs you of some HP correct??? so it does fix something???

It doesnt "fix" anything it just traps oil and keeps it from getting in.
You need to sea foam your car as well. Over time it builds up on the valves

ok but most likely i don't have a blow by problem it is most likely a PCV problem with oil reversion. What I meant is my car won't be robbed of as much power because oil won't be running through the catch can will grab the majority of it. At least this means i don't have to have my cylinders honed, lol.

Leakdown dude. If all checks ok then it almost has to be PCV related and you can add catch cans. Anything to add to the story like a water pump/stat going bad a while back and running hot??? That will cook rings and cause said issues.... just wondering if there is more to the story... 60k is nothing on these motors.....
