Maybe all the nay-sayers are right?

If installed correctly, they will catch blow-by..

If the engine is broken in properly there will be no blow by.

He has exhaust gas as in EGR confused with blow-by.

EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation performs two operations, it allows exhaust gas to be reintroduced into the intake air via the manifold which in turn re-burns any un-burned fuel but primarily cools cylinder chamber temperatures to help prevent detonation. The catch cans are installed into the PCV system = Positive Crankcase Ventilation. Two completely different systems performing completely different operations.

If EGR is going into the catch can one has bigger problems than an engine not broken in properly. Blow by is a result of combustion chamber pressure blowing by the piston rings which then forces excess crankcase oil to circulate thru the PCV system hence the reason they were invented.

Properly broken in engine = no blow by = no catch can. Which tells me the op's engine was broken in properly.

If there is no blow-by, why does Ford have a tube going from the PCV valve to the intake ? If there was nothing blowing by, they could just vent it..

Still need to ventilate the crankcase. If you don't then water vapor wont have anywhere to go.
