What company makes that? Looks like high quality stuff. I'm looking to buy an oil catch can soon. Heard Cusco has one for the DC2.

a Catch Can keeps Oil vapors from the crankcase from getting into the Intake

Catches oil that would otherwise be recirculated into the intake charge and collects it in a can, thereby providing a cleaner burn, keeping your TB/Intake manifold cleaner, and a few hp in high boost applications, not to mention less chance of predetonation. Endyn's site http://www.theoldone.com has a lot of info/discussion on them. They also sell a complete kit for $139, check it out: http://www.theoldone.com/components/breather/

yup, i definately recommend picking one up.. b-series motors have VERY poor crank case ventilation systems.. here, instead of me writing my own summary check this.. http://www.theoldone.com/components/breather/

this new setup with the auto drainback is fuggin awesome! it's not like draining the can is difficult but it'd be nice if it drained itself.. man, and i just ordered the drainback valve.. too bad i've no motor to put it on anymore! F#@K THIEVES!!
