New one is similiar to the dirty side, just a big fitting, hole twice the size. They put the restrictor inside the clean side of the vacuum line. I get a teaspoon or less now in a few hundred miles. and its now crankcase gases etc and not pure oil .


So yes, match up correctly the type of can and setup you have so it works properly. A can with a cam and a can with stock cam yields 2 different results especially the vacuum at idle.
Not the full story IMO. Your thread mentions that you’re also running the Speed Engineering valve covers, which are not baffled nearly as well as the stock ones. I feel like any catch can would have pulled significantly more oil in that situation until adjustments were made IMO.
