If I delete the EGR valve and have my head guy weld over the EGR hole on the exhaust side and plug the intake side EGR port on the head, do I even need to worry about the rear vent on the valve cover? I could just have both the side vent and the rear go to a single catch can and pull vacuum off the intake? Correct?
If it would act like a sponge how can they fill a fuel tank with 80% if this foam. That would not work.
This kind of foam is also used on many bikes as part of the crank ventilation system.

What is the purpose of the foam in a fuel cell? Looks more like mesh then foam. Was assuming sponge from the name. People have been using steel wool inside the catch cans to separate the oil and water from the air. It may have a use there, not sure how it would do inside the valve cover.
Foam in a cell keeps the fuel from sloshing so you don't need to run baffles. The stuff is highly porous. It would really help condense the oil out of the air.
But, I don't see the point of this. I barely get any oil out of either valve cover fitting.
The normal purpose is to combat fuel surge and safety for explosions when the fuel cell ruptures in a accident. I would not use it in a valve cover, although it is possible, I might try it in the catchtank. You can fill the whole catchtank with it. I think it will help a lot seperating oil from the air.

Since I vented my rear port to atmosphere it has had about 1/3 quart show up in my catch can over the last 30-40 pulls or so. Front right has no oil, just a tiny amount of moisture from the humidity.

Would you use this with a baffled or non baffled catch can?

Or put it in the valve cover where it will also separate oil from air and less oil gets to the catch can. Fuel cell foam is silicone foam, so even though I haven't been able to find a temp rating, I'm sure its good for at least 300*, which is fine for oil in the valvecover. I would probably replace it semi frequently to to prevent it from falling apart and going into the motor.
With the radium crankcase vent, can that be vta and still be routed to the intake pipe or just vta? Same or different on the pcv side? I ordered the STM -10 for pcv and -6 for drivers side on the vc. Removed the baffles but there is nothing more confusing to me than a proper pcv catch can setup and I have no idea why. I've read a ton of this thread and there's so many variances of setups its border line overwhelming.
