Oil catch can pipe length?
Im going to install an oil catch can, but the only spare place to mount it, is on the drivers side right behind the headlights. This means the tubing running to the PCV and manifold will be in excess of 1.5M. Is this too long?

Should hold about a quart to be safe but there is no specific size required.

When I used to run header evac, the hoses running from the valve covers to the collector valves were close to 3 feet long each.
