Though Lamont's 'Catch-Can' works well, it is more complicated and expensive than necessary to get the job done. I also requires maintenance.

Early on Lamont and I (and others) did a fair amount of experimentation in this area. A lot of different ideas and designed cropped up. Most of them worked. Some better than others.

If you check out this link (below) it depicts what I think is the best way to go. Simple, inexpensive and virtually maintenance free. Parts are readily available. I can send you a chunk of open cell foam if needed. I also like the fact that it returns the oil to the crank case instead of collecting it in a can to be drained away.

If you do a true catch can as in Lamont's example. You will need to put some kind of filtration (air filter) where it vents to the atmosphere to prevent contaminants entering the system.
