Greg, not everyone lives in Copland.

Funny how you guys seem to focus on car exhaust but won't sign the Kyoto agreement...

everytime I go to get my car checked, I have to set the CO back to 0.5%, that is the only rule a <1993 car has to live by. Even the CAT doesn't have to be on the car. My daily driver a QV an the TS both run open loop CO ~ 1.5% and both lost the cat.
No one ever checks outside the yearly check at the approved garage.

To compensate I go with the mountain bike to work

(if I don't have to be at a customer site, then I drive a company diesel)

With the hose pointed up and the transition to a smaller hose on the uphill side zero oil gets into the intake, just fumes.

This separator is a common parts store item, ie NAPA, Vato Zone, etc.

Greg,
What is the size of the hose used to step down and is the red silicone hose the same as in your kits?

Anybody use one of the small K&N filters over the fitting on the valve cover and just plug off the hose to the intake? I know its not smog legal, but maybe keeping all this oil out of the rubber intake hose would make them last longer before cracking???
