The only oil I've had on my belly in almost 1600 hours was from a cracked pushrod tube leaking on #4. When you start with a clean FWF and engine, it's amazing how a little bit of oil can get EVERYWHERE.I installed just the vacuum system on both of my last two airplanes. I’ve never had a drop of oil on the belly of either airplane. I do have to clean off exhaust soot from time to time. It’s not easy to see unless you’re on your creeper under the airplane, wipe the belly with some of the belly-cleaner stuff and look at your rag. It’s kind of a grayish dry residue. But no oil at all so far.
There is a plug on the accessory case near the #3 cylinder (or #5 for 540s) that you remove and replace with a hose fitting for the return line.Where does the Anti-Splat separator oil return connect to the engine?
Where does it go on your $100,000 vehicle since the late 60's and early 70's?Having what doesn't belong in the engine by returning 'waste' moisture and who knows what other garbage back into the engine just doesn't sound like a good thing. It was expelled for a reason. So: peel the orange. Eat the orange. Eat the peeling. Huh.......... (What's that on your teeth?)
PCV valves return crankcase excrement to the intake manifold where it is burned.Where does it go on your $100,000 vehicle since the late 60's and early 70's?

First thing any hot-rodder would do is remove it with the rest of the power sucking emission system!
You mean there aren't??"Expelled for a reason" is amusing. You figure there are little policemen in there , frog-marching the bad molecules to the exit?
So then, tell us why the contents of a breather hose are any dirtier than the contents of the crankcase in general.You mean there aren't??
Lol your right. Been there and have done that but don't tell anyone. It is getting extremely difficult to do that today without having a bunch of other codes and problems. But it won't destroy your motor.PCV valves return crankcase excrement to the intake manifold where it is burned.

The first 50,000 kilos it ran with it hooked up at 635 hp. Disconnected it and ran to an AC style catch can. Still 635 hp and now it's one more thing to drain and clean.
