    I've had a few setups to control your situation. Trots a filter on that line and the front hole, that's a mess. Best is to have a catch can between that front one and the intake. PVC in the rear with a filter on top. I make catch cans from those aluminum water bottles. Lotta cool looking ones and are cheap.

    A crank scraper is usually a sheet metal deal in the bottom end that has close tolerances to your crankshafts counter weights, and it keeps excess oil in the pan.. It reduces parasitic drag and its suppose to help make a little more power..
