yes when you have the PCV system squared away you can then install a free flowing air filter to take advantage of your high performance camshaft =)  thank you, I didnt think it like this way. So I have it now, and will install tomorrow    |

installed Oil catch can, and problem appears, cannot get mixture to normal, too much white smoke, like getting too much oil.
At the moment with original air filter.

ok my oppinion about: Oil catch can
After driving now 1000km engine oil is lower than 300ml, normal is 800-850, so its not cooling but burning oil in super speed, good that I checked oil level as there is still to run 500km to the next oil change, I didnt saw any differents in cooling or anything.
I will not recommend this, as there is no point having it.

the purpose of the 'catch-can' is to collect the oil that would otherwise blow out when using an air filter that doesnt have a fitting for the hose from the valve cover, not to cool it. if it did not capture the oil, it might not be hooked up right.
However, it sounds like you are BURNING oil. is the sparkplug oily? you see smoke comming from the tailpipe? if so you could have bad rings or bad valve guide oil seals or both.

Hi Speedy,
It was connected correctly 100%, as before I even got it I was looking all around the internet why and how.
...some white smoke is coming up, but this is normal as outside is already +8c only.
sparkplug is like a coffee, so its perfect, compression of the engine is 11.
aa and Valve is also setted as it should, looked today just to be sure before writing.

oil catch tank is effective for engines where oil are gushing out of the engine breather due to performance cams installation, this will allow the oil to put back in to circulation. However, if you want to lower down your engine's oil temperature, you need to use an oil cooler.
as for your performance problem, if you noticed some white smoke coming out of the exhaust, better check your A/F, it could be that the air filter is somewhat restrictive, hence making your mixture rich. Also, you need to consider checking your valve seals and piston rings and hoped that everything in your engine is fine.
