Hey thanks!! You were right as well... I sealed the can off completely so no air leaks or anything and now the car is running smooth! Thanks for all the help! I greatly appreciate it.
So for some proof I thought I would add some pictures of me emptying the catch can during an oil change . If you have noticed I took the bolts out and put red tape around the holes, this was more effective than the bolts. Luckily the tape was red and so was the oil catch can so it does suit for others it might not.
putting in my worthless 2 cents here but.. i personally do not really consider it an upgrade unless you are boosted or have high comp. if anyone has documented proof it does anything or increases power what have you on a "normal" prelude, i would love to see as it would give me motivation to install the one i bought 2 to 3 years ago. otherwise it's all theories and hear say. it's more for sh*ts and giggles lol. /rant
^No one ever said anything about increasing power, just keeps the intake and injectors clean.
A vented valve cover, breather tank and deleted PCV system is the best way to go if you want best results, vapors still get pulled through on this set up.

Can you expand on the Breather tank & Deleted PCV system? Would like to try that out

More so, as you are venting out the the excess crankcase pressure as well as anyblow by that occurs. This excess oil gets captured int eh can and doesnt get recylce through the intake system via pcv system. Ultimetly it will do the same thign as the pcv setup just without clogging up and oiling you intake system. As fopr performance, i dont think it will add allot of performance unless your engine has a severe amount of blow by; severe enough to hinder the performance of the engine. In that case you wouldnt be seeing a "gain" in performcane, just a recapture of lost ponies due to inefficient engine operation.
Too much blow by oil that gets into the intake can do a numebr of things, like, clog injectors, clogged egr ports/system, coated/blocked air intake temp sensor (which can lead to CELs), fouled sparkplugs due to excess oil soaking them(in exrtreme cases) as a well as stickign throttle bodies (rare though but it still happens) and other issues.

who predicts that something like this brings more power?
my goal is to keep my engine as healthy as I can
Venting can help performance some, just have to do it right, fittings need to be in the back of the valve cover ABOVE the baffle, the hose used should be as large of diameter as possible to reduce the velocity of air moving through it and the can should be able to breathe very well, 1 tiny filter on the top wont be enough. Having the fittings tapped and welded to the valve cover above the baffle will keep almost all oil out of the breather tank, you'll rarely empty it, you'll only get some that was originally blow by gas that condenses in there.
Not sure if it helps response just by venting but a vacuum pump will, with less pressure giving resistance on moving parts response is gained.
Some will vent from the front of the valve cover but you really shouldn't since there is no baffle there unless you weld your own plate on the inside. You commonly see B series engines with them coming from the front only because their valve cover is baffles in the front since the engine sits at a different angle than an H.
