Yep, all that will work. You can make one out of a mason jar if you want.

Here is another one made out of a Cobalt filter that is more or less the same as the Husky I have. It's on a Mustang SVT.

I saw lots of DIY versions made from all sorts of pipe and fittings during my search.
Definitely a good addition to the engine bay.

Can't beat that for 20 bucks. A guy I know just ordered this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-ALUMIN...sories&vxp=mtr Good for 40 HP too! lol. You guys have much more room to work in the engine bay. My motor is shoe horned in there. It's hard to fit anything else. Keep the ideas and pics coming. I can't believe I've never heard about this before having owned a 318 for ten years and now this 360. Hell they should have came from the factory with one of these. PCV is Piece of Crap Valve lol.

Ok so I pulled it apart to put in some pure copper wool and after a few days of driving there is a tiny bit of oil at the bottom so it's working.

I emptied my catch can when I did my oil change. Got about 2 tablespoons full of oi out of it. I always drain when I change oil (as that is when I rememebr it). There is no wool or anything in it. I believe that any oil one can keep out of intake is good.

I ran with one of these years a go when I was building engines and racing when I was a kid.....
