I've not looked at it yet but how does it come out
Is it threaded or pressed in ?

If that's supposed to be a cyclonic separator the green arrows on the website shows it plumbed the wrong way around?

Saab B207 stage 3 atm.

 

My pcv is open, with a catchtank in between.

It has now done at least 1000 miles of which most spent on track.

 

The catchtank is empty.

The air inlet has a minimum of oil smear visible.

Engine has no oil consumption.

 

So mine is staying open.

 

:tt:
