My b3 have been burning oil and have blowby. The intake was filling with oil after very short time. So I have bought an oil catch tank that have three nipple outlets. Two of them are at the top and the other one is at the bottom. I connected one of the top nipples for the outlet from the valve cover and the other, I routed some pipe to the back of the car. Also routed the lower nipple to the engine oil pan. Here is the photo.

I would route it back to the intake rather than dumping to atmosphere, thats metered air youre venting, probably causing you to run slightly rich in some cases.91GL BP/F3A with boost

I don't think so about the metered air because, I have plugged the intake hole.Originally posted by bhazard View Post:festiva: 1995 Kia Pride, 1.3 EFI, manual. :fred:Comment

he is venting the valve cover, thats just blowby, not metered air. I would still route it back to the intake instead, that way you get some crankcase scavenging. Thats how its supposed to work.

The reason that I vented to atmosphere is that the engine have lots of blowby and still gets some oil from the outlet pipe even after the oil catch can and if I reroute it back to the intake it will have oil in the intake and the vaf meter and the filter.Originally posted by resuwrecked View Post:festiva: 1995 Kia Pride, 1.3 EFI, manual. :fred:Comment

Sounds like the engine is asking for some TLC.Originally posted by lancerevo View Post
Anyway, you should make sure that you vent it in a way that it creates a pressure differential large enough to scavenge those gases. You can run the pipe under the car with the opening facing the back and that should help.OscarComment
