My son and I restored my mini-excavator and used a HF 22hp Predator engine. Was a lot of work to get to fit but runs great... except when I tilt the excavator at an angle (tilts engine sideways) and then it smokes up a storm because oil is going though the PCV tube into the airbox/carb.

For those that have worked on a similar engine and situation <like for an ultralight> what did you do to the PCV to keep it from dumping oil when at an angle?

Looking for really simple solution- preferably one that doesn't require pulling the engine.
