Freezing of the crankcase venting system has happened two times that I know
of. Each time resulted in pressure building up enough to blow out the rear
oil seal. Both times were in pusher applications where the engine was out
in the cold airstream and the collection bottle was very cold. Moisture
from the air vented out of the crankcase froze to the brass fitting at the
exit of those custom made oil recovery bottles and blocked the flow of air
out of the engine.

Hello all...
I think I need to update the problem I was having....
Everything I did kept coming up to the same problem....fuel pressure going
from 3 psi to 7+ psi....we believe it was a blockage in the crankcase
vent...pressure would start out at 1.5 - 3 lbs and after 6-10 minutes of
running it would go to 7+ lbs and flood out the engine...I think it was what
I had in my catch can was freezing to the top of my vent tube and blocking
it off...when I went back and checked temps on the days I had trouble ,it
was the days that the temps were below 20*...all the other days were over
32*...I changed my catch can and enlarged all the tubing to and from the can
and believe that will take care of my problem..I should have it flying again
next weekend and will write a report on how it went!
