Take off your breather, get a hose run it from that nipple on the valve cover to a little gatorade bottle.

Cut a hole twards the top of the bottle on the side and then poke small holes in the top to the bottle for breathing stick the hose in the hole you made on the side of the bottle.. and stick the bottle somwhere.

I did this so i could see how much oil was going into the bottle..

Make sense????

hehe, of course u can, it all depends on how u want it to look ;-)

i have silicon hosing runnin from the crankcase spout to a T, on top of the T is the breather, and there is more hose on the other end of the T goin to an old Vitamin C container wrapped in aluminum foil....just make sure your catchcan is lower (gravity) than the breather, and the crankcase spout ;-)

tia

btw,,,, watch out if your engine bay temps get really hot, cuz u dont want ish meltin on u

I've seen people use oil bottles also. Hehe try to use something clear so you can tell how much oil is in it.

I've used a Skippy Peanut Butter jar (plastic) before. Drilled two holes. I stuffed the breather hose into one, and duct-taped a paper towel against the other. :)

Then I went and got a RRE catchcan for $50- it was a bit sexier.
