Is anyone using a catch can set up on their Flathead?
When I take a ride in my car and come to a stop, there's smoke coming out from the oil pan vent. I'm guessing it's blow by? I was wondering if there's a way to run that vent through a catch can set up to clean up that smoke. I know they're for a pcv system, but I'm asking to see if they could be used without.
I'm told I shouldn't be running a pcv set up because I have a blower and I'd be putting that dirty air back into the motor.
Any thoughts?!
Thank you,
Joe
