Default New PCV and catch can hosing ...

So I finished off re-doing all of my pcv hosing (although once I find some 3/8" blue hosing I'm gonna finish off the hoses on the passenger side), the new check valves seem to be doing a great job ...

What kind of check valves are you using, and where did you get them?

The one I was using failed on me.

When are you going to change the 3.5 logo to a 3.7?

How are the r888's. I heard good things about those tires.

On the few times that I've actually used them to their fullest potential they are worth every penny.

have you caught any oil yet? My catch can hasnt caught anything.... I suppose thats a good thing. Its attached in line from the tube that goes from the crank case that recircs, im assuming same routing as yours.

Spoilsofwar, how did you know your check valves were failing? Blown seals? Or did you just blow on the hose to check

I was installing a bigger catch can, because my home depot one started leaking. While doing that, I removed the check valve and blew into it, and realized it wasn't checking anything anymore, lol

Probably due to the oil, or heat. It was plastic bodied and who knows what the diaphragm was made of.
