to stop the pressure build up in the head which stops oil coming out of your oil cap...

Breathers on catch cans are a defectable item. You can't vent any gases from the engine directly into the atmosphere without going through the cat.

not in a honda.

the OEM positive crank case ventelation system takes care of that...

better not to have one on a catch can...

the catch can shoudl be plumbed back into the intake manifold as it is supposed to be part of an emissions system...

that's what i thought, and with the breather it wouldn't really be plumber back.. :thumbdwn:

thanks for the insight.

would there be much point if you see the occassional mountain pass? ;)
