did you buy it from Rajab directly? from what i know their ones are already blocked. Anyhow i think you can weld it up closed. Give Alan a call i am sure he can give you more info if it is one of theirs.

so instead of a catch can, it goes straight back into the sump?

big motors pool oil in the back of the head. its commom to run a oil drain hose directly to the sump from the back of the head.
