Oil Catch can?

What does it do? Can you like, put in more oil than you need, and it will just run off? So your sure you have exactly enough all the time? How much does it cost to install?

IMHO, an oil catch can is very usefull on a stock Honda. I have had an oil catch can installed on my '94 GS-R for nearly two years now and I empty ~1/4 cup of oil every 3K miles. Without the oil catch can the oil droplets are feed back into the intake manifold, which can "pool" in the intake manifold and it also lowers your octane level.

You can go to my website at http://www.geocities.com/bretq/DIY_O...tructions.html for instructions on installing a oil catch can.
