Homemade oil catch can

Homemade oil catch can

Ok, So I was getting alot of "blow-by" into the intake. I can't afford a nice catch can at the moment, but found this solution. I used a air compressor filter and put it in the vacuum line going to the intake from the valve cover. It's very simple and seems to be working great. I had this filter lying around in the garage, but you can pick one up at the local hardwhare store about $20.

So far I've put about 250 miles on the set up, and here's the pictures.

I'm gonna stop by a local hardware store and see if I can pick one up. I really don't want to wait for a catch can to be shipped to Greece. I noticed a little dirt/oil around the hose on the intake that was never before I put the sc on.
