Catch Can Results

 

What is the catch can for? several people talking about that but i never knew what was that for.

 

thats more then what i get for a 2000 mile trip at around the same speeds. what kind of catch can are you useing?

 

It goes inline between the PCV valve and intake manifold and catches oil that is sucked up through the system.

I have the same question as TheLadiesMan...which catch can do you have?

 

i need to make one. i just need to get the parts list and go shopping.
my truck had some nasty crud come out of it today when i changed the oil. i guess it helps with that

 

changing the oil more often than not helps with that, no seriously you got a picture of the crap that came out of it? you sure it wasent just in the pan i almost had a heart attack once till i realized i dropped a small bolt in there

 

Go To Accurate Machine Works.
See some info and pics HERE.

I started the post because I could not be positive about the PCV location. Turns out there is no check valve anymore. Just a fixed orifice.

Some guys tried a compressor water separator but it clogged.

For the price, you would have to be a machinist to appreciate what it would take to setup and turn them out. A nice piece of work that could have been flimsier if were designed by a hack. For the time I would spend running around trying to do a home maid unit, it is just plain easer to order one, and probably would not look or work as good.
The pic shows it mounted but not hooked up yet. I went ahead and got the bracket. It is not plastic and just as cleanly made as the can. I made the "L" bracket amd mounted it to the brake cylinder mountiong bolt.

I also hear if you run Synthetic oil it helps too, I am running Mobil1. Hmmm?

 

So thats the PVC on the top of the manifold coming from the drivers side?

 

The valve is in the driver's side valve cover, and the vacuum line goes to the top of the intake.

 

Cool i thought that when i had the cover off the one day that looked like it.
