I will not say who the owner is. If he wants to post he can. He had everyone including myself stumped. At times it was hard to keep him calm He had people telling him everything from a cracked head to sunk sleeves to fittings not being anti siphon. Point of the post is check your catch can lines once in a while. Every oil change?















The catch can was filling and overflowing with normal driving. Boost made it worse. A couple people, including myself, told him to change out the Honda fittings for anti siphon fittings. Left is anti siphon and right is Honda.



When he took the lines off the fittings one of the lines was filled/clogged with gunk.



















Problem fixed =) It was the backed up line. What was the gunk? I dont know. My only guess is oil/water/coolant mix that came from using the Cometic head gasket without copper spray. Will never know for sure without an analysis. Changed out the Cometic gasket for an OEM copper sprayed gasket. At this point I just want the owner of the car to have fun with it.

Drove the car for ten minutes and boosted it. Not one drop

And yes. The compression tested 190 across. Leakdown 1% - 3%.

Ever figure out why it was breaking up ?

Alpha

Nope. Only started breaking up that day. And the car has been down since then
