Basically venting it to the atmosphere with some sort of home made catch can on the end.
I noticed a little oil in there. I know small amounts are normal, but I am curious just how much oil gets vented back into the intake.
So I want to run with a PCV out for a while with a short hose pointing into some container.
Is that ok? Will absense of a vacuum on the other side mess things up?
