Is there a way the crankcase vent system could be routed outside the engine? Maybe through an oil catch can, and out to the atmosphere?

Seems like it could probably be easily be put back for smog tests.

Probably not the best for the environment, but it sure would cure the carbon buildup problem for good!

Not sure if it would even be that much worse than some of the methods offered for cleaning the carbon (aside from the walnut shell thang).

I worked at a shop that was not allowed to use water to clean things like wheels and parts, we had to use cans of brake cleaner and solvents and rags. There's no way that was better for the environment.
