    Depends on how much crank case pressure you have, ring gap, boost etc...

    get it, it doesnt matter what motor you have or setup.. your engine will always have blow-by; which is what a catch cans purpose is for. i look at it as a win-win situation, never have i seen a problem having a catch can vs whereas not having one blows out seals ..

    you could carefully drill and tap the valve cover instead of weld. and weld it later if you wanted. Lots of people do this with type r valve covers.
