I replaced the ribbed pan on my '85 617 Cali engine with an earlier smooth type with the oil return line from the stock catch can. I'm planning on fabricating a catch can that will take the "vapors" from the rocker arm cover, condense them out on stainless wool in the catch can and then drain the oil back to the sump. The can will be vented to the intake to burn the cleaned oil vapor.

I just cleaned the intake manifold and was amazed at the amount of gunk and goo that had collected. Never want to do that job again.
