There were many solutions here on all types of engines…235, 261, 292 and 283’s…but no 216 PCV conversions and be for I attempt to use one of the talked about conversion for these engines, I thought that I would ask the experts for help. I only want to do this once…
Any thoughts on a Oil Catch can system?

What is that? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | You shouldn't count on curing the oil leaks with a PCV system. It is better for the engine and it will help keep blowby fumes contained. You would set it up the same way you would fro a 235. I have mine drawing from the converted vent tube and the air inlet is a filtered oil cap. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 457 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 457 | Old Stovebolts leak. At least, that's my experience. But, I keep driving and enjoying, and hope you do, too!
