I am sure it has been talked about but I searched & came up empty.

Has anyone here ever plugged the intake pipe & ran the hose to a catch can? If so what did you use? I have limited sources here, but will order from stateside if need be. I am also replacing the VC to VC rubber formed hose with SS braided covered rubber hose. Just to dress it up a bit...plus I broke one when replacing the DS VC gasket.

Here are the hoses in question

Hey,the OEM item is usually good on the Merc!...as it seperates the air/oil and returns the oil to the sump...you can plug the return to the sump/vent to the filter box and use a can+filter though its another thing to clean out etc when the time comes...

Im about to make one together with a new washer bottle,was hoping to have oil return to sump but it might be a pain,maybe ill tap the sump again.
