Default Catch Can

wow thanks to crager my smoking is no longer an issue. My car was smoking like i had a blown motor and now with the AMW Catch can there is no more smoke, and my ses light turned off. I was throwing codes for my o2 sens. now every thing is fine. I was surprised how fast the light tuned off. It turned off 5 min after driving the car.

Thanks Craig

Thomas

Nice, I want to upgrade my homemade version, but I dont think I could swallow the price tag of the AMW.

If you were using that much oil and had a quart standing in your intake, then congrats on putting a big *** band-aid on your engine. Sounds like something is not right. Who did the heads/cam? I am aware of the nature of the LS1 burning oil but that is a little excessive.
