Ok, apparently my catch can is working, but what its catching is a mystery. lol I dont know if its gas and oil or what. It's clear with a little bit of the light brown. It doesnt smell like pure gas, but it may be mixed with something else. Any ideas? Picture below. 🤷‍♂️

That's a mixture of water, oil, and gasoline. Back when I had a catch can, this is 3 months of running on E85 in the winter.

Like $300, but you get an intake manifold spacer also. They use the spacer to block off the factory PCV and run it to the catch can.

Crankshaft vapors are vented to atmosphere during boost.

Crankshaft vapors are burning during vacuum.

The plastic check ball in the crankcase vent was upgraded with a ball bearing.
