    Well after a year on my rig the spacers have to come off. They have become saturated with oil and you know what will be next, an oil leak and then they will break down and become brittle etc.

    I can already see the right side front seeping thru.

    $100 for 1 year. :bang::help::censored:

    That sucks Tony.

    Wonder why this is happening? I've had mine on even longer than you and have NO issues whatsoever.

    Who knows Ron maybe that your F/I its keeping the oil from seeping up that high at this point who knows.

    Probably would but after I remove them im not putting them back again as I would have to get new ones as these are now saturated with oil or atleast the right side is.

    A catch can will help either way.

    At my last oil change, 3000 miles, I emptied the Catch can into a regular Spray paint can cover anf filled it at least 3/4 full. That's a lot of oil to go through the intake without a catch can, get one Tony
