Speaking of catch cans, are the after market oil separators for the positive crankcase ventilation system worth it for a normally aspirated Mustang? Was that the issue for the vette?

That was the issue with the vette when Robert had it and I have been meaning to get one for my mustang. I would say with the quick turns back and fourth it would be a good idea for your car also Dewitt.

Mine never leaked from there, all my gunk was coming from a bad output shaft seal.. the drivers side on the diff is prone to fail.
I'm actually going to do the catch can on the engine if I ever get the car back. Lol

Berry...

Any updates?

I'm curious as to what you find out. Check out my thread in a bit for some news on my car's issues.

No updates. Strano has been out for the past 2 weeks so not parts ordered and no update on the Delrin kit for my control arms. I have pretty much gotten most of it cleaned up. I still need to source a small catch can to catch this stuff when the tranny burps.

Gotcha.
I'll be adding an oil catch can when the car gets back, but my tranny felt pretty dry when I replaced the reverse lockout solenoid this spring.

Well... that kinda sucks I guess.

Hope you found something else fun
