Oil Catch Can For V35

[Darckness]

Hi guys,

I've been looking at oil catch cans for improved breathing of the engine.

A couple of things I'm not sure about though -

• would an NA engine, at extended full throttle, ever generate enough pressure in the crankcase to blow the dipstick out of it's holder + spew oil over the engine?
  
• would an NA engine benefit from one - including keeping sludge buildup out of the inlet manifold?
  
• are they legal?
  
• why wouldn't manufacturers include them if they help keep the internals clean...

to my knowledge they are of use in 2 situations

1) in a race car that generates sustained high-rpm conditions

2) in a worn engine with blow-by

in a new car with less than 50,000kms, a catch can is nothing but a waste of money and space, and can create a headache for no reason if you install it wrong

so.. does your car fit into any of the above categories?

if yes, then go buy your snake oil

if not, then save your money for useful mods like a GPS

Cool. Thanks for the info :-)
