I have had to replace my Throttle Body due to blow by oil mixed with soot getting past the TB shaft and shorting out the circuit board in the TB. I opened the cover on the side of the TH and it was 1/2 full of oil. I have all the stuff for the oil catch can mod and plan to do that.

Yup, I've seen people just clean them out and re-install it. Or simply replacing it, it's only held in by 3 or 4 hex bolts and a electrical harness. Accessing the bolts are a different story...

I may be interested oil catch can modification, can you supply the links or information on this?
