Post your Catch Can Setups
Here are pics of my crank case ventilation set up. I am running a Vortech SC with 16psi (3.8 pulley & 928 impeller) with a built motor
I temporarily hooked up a cheap ($15 at Autozone) vacuum/boost gauge to the valve cover to see if I could actually pull a vacuum. After a test drive, I found that I was pulling a very very slight vacuum under all engine loads. My recent leakdown showed a range of 3-11%.
I must say that dealing with Saikou Michi (http://www.saikoumichi.com/ ) was a very good experience.
The location of the cans allows easy access to drain. I also hope the longer distance from the motor to the cans will allow some more time for the oil vapors to condense in the can.

I have the same setup as most but for some reason my oil dipstick is really hard to get off and also my oil cap had a milky white residue. The sump oil was clean as a whistle.
The Pcv has been gutted running to the catch can and also the front engine port running to catch can which has a breather on it.
Any ideas why these things are occurring?
Not loosing any water from radiator and the engines not cooking it's head off so the chances of a blown head gasket is minimal.

Here's my first attempt. Put on an AP2 valve cover and used Summit -8 AN fittings. It just runs over the intake manifold for right now, but looking at getting some different fittings to go back and along the firewall.
