Larry,
Very funny description of the vent tube benefits. The stock tube will still
supply oil to unwanted areas even if you run it to a catch can. The trick is to
seal it well at the block connection. This is very difficult to do with the
stock tube. It has a split in it and only a slip fit for Pete's sake. I made an
steel fitting with an O-ring seal and welded it to a modified vent tube, then
ran it straight up to a catch can. I can't imagine oil ever finding it's way to
the can. Unless of course a serious motor problem arises or the car is upside
down.
Good luck,
Dave H.

wouldn't a filter accomplish the same objective? maybe some kind of hose
clamped on thing?

Larry
that's exactly what all the race drivers have to do. compulsory.
i have
seen many ways of routing it into a catch bottle/can/fancy container.

List,
with reference to the Tr-3 engine vent pipe i have a question. Yes we
all know
the benefits of the engine vent tube( it lubricates the engine bay
and the
chassis), but if one wants to keep the engine bay and chassic clean
can one
incorpoorate a oil catch can for the engine vent pipe? Are there any
drawbacks
to this added on item? Larry Schwartz
