Another PCV/Breather/Catch can question
haven't seen this come up before. 1.6 block has an oil port on the passenger side. Anyone ever think to have a catch can drain into this port? I'm finally getting around to thinking about doing this...Intake manifold plugged, both valve cover ports to a catch can on passenger side. Catch can has filter on top to relieve pressures, catch can also has tube running out of the bottom to block.

That's a pressure port. The only train ports are in the cylinder head. You could run a Y on the turbo oil drain to send the can dump back to the pan. I believe the MSM does this OE. After looking at what comes from my catch can, I'm convinced this ok as my by-product is not too contaminated looking. And draining the can is just another thing to do.

correct it's definitely not a pressure port. it's where the original greddy kit drains. regardless, do you see any problems doing it that way? i figure it will work fine and i never have to empty out the can
