Default Catch can stuffing?

I ordered a cath can, one of my friends used steel wool in his, but that seems like it will break up.

What should I use that has little to no risk of seperating and being sucked into my engine?

I was thinking about this yesterday, I think I'm going to find an inline filter that will go on the vacuum line to avoid the steel wool getting sucked up.

i thought of that, but less vacuum = less case ventilation.

Use those stainless steel scrubber sponges, and make sure to have your PCV valve mounted after (or on) the catch can, not before it.

First to answer your question... I use those girly shower scrubber things, thats what bodykitsNW recommended.

do you guys feed your oil back into the block or what? I don't see how it could get sucked back into the engine with it venting to the atmosphere.

also, what is wrong with mounting the PCV valve before the catch can? Thats is how mine is hooked up now. The PCV valve IS the line running up in through the intake runners and up to the intake manifold, right?
