This is just an update. After running the flow back catch can and check valve for a couple weeks at which time I had cleaned the engine, the oil usage dropped (stayed right on the max level line) and the engine is still clean.There is no oil coming from between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold mating surfaces.I also noticed the chrome exhaust tip stayed clean with out the heavy oilly soot. I like to have a clean engine inside and out. Now if I could do something about the crap California summer blend gas!

I think you are giving too much credit for your little flow back catch can. The only thing you have solved is having to empty it. I empty my Hausfeld Campbell catch can once a week and it has some dark oil in it. Takes all of two minutes. I use synthetic and add a bit of oil at about 4500-5000 miles into the oil change and since I change oil every 6k I don't see that as a problem.
