Im looking into sticking one on the old beastie 2.0 8v
Its not really burning oil, but its getting on now, and I thought nows better than ever.
Does one just fit it in the breather pipe between crankcase and cylinder head.
Then either have other side venting to air, or back into breather system...
Then the tank magically collects all the oil vapour??
Also if vented to air would you have to block off the other breather pipe to stop the intake side sucking in air from there.

I have one on my mazda, goes between the cam cover and the inlet - designed to stop the "solids" going back into the intake and getting burnt, or clogging up the throttle body etc.
You don't really need it unless you're running boost, or if you already have signs of oily muck in your intake
If you leave an open breather, stick a small filter on it
