Thanks Dave... I wanted to ensure we were talking about the heads since mine have no ports... apparently plugged up.

I did some research on the oil catch. It's a very simple system: oil vapor / mist in, condensed, collected, and cleaner air back out. The issue still exits as to where to connect the exhaust hose from the oil catch. I guess I will look for something that has an air cleaner / filter as the exhaust instead of an outlet for a hose.

Tip: The oil catches come in all sizes and prices. Get one with a baffle. The baffle will give oil vapor and mist something to which it can stick. Otherwise the mist will just pass through the can's outlet. I reqd that you can use steel wool in the cheaper cans without baffles but I would advise against it if you are venting the catch back to the intake because some wool could break loose and damage your motor. I found some baffled oip catches between $15 and $50 that I would trust.
