JLT's CC/OS improvement?

[440sprint]

I went for the clean install & good looks of the JLT CC/OS about 150 mi. ago. I was checking out a new mechanic today by going over some concerns with my '13GT500 & he seemed interested in my JLT catch can. I had not pulled it off yet & it came off easily.
I unscrewed the can & was SHOCKED to see 1/2 teaspoon of oil there! The mechanic pointed out the oil DRIPPING out of the end that connects to the SC! I must say, WTF!
He looked it over & cleaned it out, saying the can needed more "catch" media & suggested something that he uses for many jobs around his shop - Scotch-Brite green scrubber layers inside the can. Wife & I use green scrubbers ALL THE TIME for cleaning & they seem to have no wear-out sluff-off material & are very filter like at about 1/4 in thick sheets.
At home I pulled out my large back stock of green scrubber material, grabbed my 1 1/2 inch socket to use as a template & cut out 4 circles using a SHARP blade. I thoroughly washed the circles & they fit perfectly stacked in my JLT can. I re-assembled the CC/OS & re-installed it on my Shelby's amazing engine!
I have concerns before operating engine. Will Scotch-Brite green scrubbers stand up to the temp & oil/chemicals in the can, possibly plugging up the can's original steel mesh? Will the crankcase PVC output be impeded too much with the extra filter media in the can? I probably will not drive with the circles installed until I am comfortable with these concerns.
I feel that adding a 5th circle would tighten the stack of new media in the can & may filter better if my above concerns are resolved & NO OIL DRIPS OUT OF THE SC END WHEN I LOOK THE NEXT TIME AFTER ANOTHER 150 mi.!!
Any serious opinions out there, PLEASE! This & tires are my two presently unresolved issues! Thanks!

i cant comment on your concerns about using scotch brite but i can say that bob's oil seperators seem to catch more oil than the JLT unit according to many people. You can buy them from Van @ revanracing, he is a vendor on here.

Thanks, but I don't like the shock tower install w/large black hoses draped across to the engine. If I cannot improve the JLT, I will change to ??.

It is normal for fine vapors to get through a separator. It's design is to grab the majority and the large vapor droplets and hold them in the can.
I do not know about the material you are now using, but I would keep an eye on it to see if it breaks down.

We use a metal mesh filter designed by Ford for this type of application.

You can use the Bob's Separators and mount to the fire wall and dress them up with AN Fittings and braided hoses.

I would be very concerned that the Scotch-Brite material would break down and get sucked through your motor... Do you really want to risk that?

+1. No way I take that chance with my engine. I am all about having the best cleanest oil. No way would I risk contaminating it, when there is a solution already available to catch 99.9% of the oil going to the intake.
