Default How i ran my catch can

Can some one show me how they have there catch cans hooked up? I mean what do you have going into it and what you have going out. I just have it from the pcv line to the catch can, then the from the can to the pcv valve itself then to the intake. Should i do anything about the lines going to the TB?

Does it matter if the Valve comes before or after the can?

Probably won't matter but the Pvc valve may stop some of the oil and so you may get more in the catch can if it is after the catch can. Just a thought but I don't think it will matter.

PG45, The top hose is connected to the end of the PCV, side hose goes where the PCV hose was.

pdd, Maybe you're getting oil from the valve cover breather hose, try a Metco breather in place of the oil fill cap. They have one that replaces the cap and neck and they have a breather that just replaces the cap, I don't have any part numbers but I think I would just go the Metco breather that replaces the oil fill cap ( much easier install ).

The oil could be coming from your ported heads. Did you use a sealant on the intake rocker bolts? I was having the same problems with my car, and it turned out to be the ported heads..

Pat, I don't have one but I know someone bought one from a sponsor here, which sponsor I don't remember but I'll see what I can find..you could also start a thread asking where you can get the oil cap only Metco breather.

Just checked Fast Toys and it looks like they have it, other sponsors probably have it also.
