Which PCV valve to use with oil catch can?
I'm a little confused about which PCV valve I should use with my oil catch can. I can't remember who posted the directions for a Moroso oil catch can set up, but whoever it was stated you should use a Ford PCV valve on top of the oil catch can. You can't have two PCV valves so should I hollow out my stock PCV valve or hollow out the Ford PCV valve? Is the Ford PCV valve the right one for a FI honda? Thanks!

Yeah, those are the directions I followed, but he says to use them both in the directions. So I e-mailed him and he said I should hollow out the stock PCV valve and use the Ford PCV valve.........what's wrong with the old one and how does he know the Ford one is the right one???

I would not hollow out your stock PCV valve. Just in case you want to go back to stock for any reason.
The weight of the stopper in the PCV valves determines how much pressure it takes for air to flow through them. Some come with plastic bases, some with metal bases. Be sure to get plastic.
The first PCV I hollowed out and put in place of my stock valve (Puralator with Plastic base) leaked oil because it's base was not large enough to seat snugly in the valve cover. So before you go through all the work of hollowing the PCV out, just replace your stock one and run your car for a few days to check for leaks. If it looks good then bust out the Dremel / X-Acto knife!
I apologize for not being able to remember the part # for the valves that I bought.
