can i use some nike sweat bands and put "nike resevoir covers" in my mod list?




i'm joking... i'll let my fluids flow however they want and i won't restrict that.

on my car, i have cheap wrist bands on my valve cover breathers, because at high rpm the amount of crankcase pressure will push some oil out and it makes the valve covers oily, and it creates some smoke...some guys pay for fancy foam covers that say "moroso" or whatever, but any 99 cent pair of wrist bands from kmart works just as well.

does this mean you can be shooting oil into the throttle body via the CAI if it goes out of the breather tube abd into the CAI?

youd need a hell of alot of crankcase pressure, but yes...i have even seen some people make oil catch cans to go between the breather tube and the CAI...
