Stus-List Universal M4-30 exhaust system

David, Just thought I would share, I have a Universal M35 and always had oil spray and an odour of oil in the engine compartment. I put an automotive style catch can from Jeggs and a better air filter on the engine from K&N which completely solved the problem. I get about 1/2 ounce of oil a year

Maybe. I didn't perceive that from your original description. If it doesn't terminate in the presence of the suction from the air intake then even the oil drop out canister won't be able to fix the problem. Josh On Mon, Apr 23, 2018, 9:26 AM David Knecht via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wr

Hi Josh- I don’t have a port on the side of the air intake. The orginal hose was just dangling nearby. I notice that there is a small wire loop near the air intake opening that is about the right size for the tubing. Perhaps it was originally held in place by that? Dave > On Apr 23, 2018, a

Dave, The can only has 2 lines that enter at the top. As you observed one comes from the valve cover. The other goes to the original port on the side of the air intake. The 2 hoses that appear to be coming from the bottom are engine raw water running to a loop seal which is mounted on the wall

The tube is supposed to vent accumulated gasses to the intake. Usually exhaust gas blow by the rings. Some oil carry over is normal and a brillow paf style if separator can usually be found at the valve cover where the tube attaches. Excessive blow by is indicative of stuck, worn, or broken rin
