Two Oil Catch Cans!!!!

ok, i bought an oil catch can, nothing new to me, bought one before...sold it...changed my mind and bought another no biggie. So i am hooking the catch can to my PCV valve and routing it back to the intake manifold, nothing new. But i was wondering, what if I install another oil catch can where the valve cover outlet connects with the intake, then I would have two oil catch cans collecting oil which blow-by usually occurs. My question is, by doing this setup, will it hurt by adding these mods? I do not think so but I want to get everyone's opinions. -thanks

I ran a second like that, but I removed it since it never caught a single drop of oil.

However I'd use one if you were to run a separate breather.

where did you connect your oil catch to now? PCV to IM, or Valve cover outlet to Intake? Also, using a seperate breather? How is that setup done?

No, I mean that running one from the intake pipe to the VC was useless. Running one from the PCV to the IM works great.

Do you have pictures of the oil catch cans? If you could post 2 pictures of them, that would be great!
