I checked my catch cans today. I found very little oil in them. So I was wondering if I was pulling a vacuum through them. So I pulled out the dip sticks and put a vacuum gauge in the holes. Hot idle, I was pulling 10 inches of vacuum in each can. Wonder what everyone is getting? At least I know that they are working.

I have been checking mine also with the new build. I get nothing also so far. The Radium Catch Cans have dipsticks you can check to see if you need to drain them.

Although mine don't have a lot of blow by built up, they are catching it. Are you using any sort of filter media? I put small balls of steel wool in the baffles. That helps to collect it as it enters the can.

I have stainless steel wool in the cans.
