    Default remove PCV system?

    would it be alright to remove the PCV system??? well not remove it but not connect it??? I have heard the PCV can be the culprit of H22's burning oil. I've already tried a catch can but it doesnt help. could i just put a breather filter on the end of the PCV valve similar to the valve cover breather and plug the nipple on the intake manifold????

    So you're losing oil some where and just don't know where? Did the catch can have much oil in it when you were using it? The can prevents the oil from going into the intake manifold and eventually on top of the cylinder where it gets burned. If that didn't stop it from losing oil then it's burning it somewhere else, most likely the rings are toast...
