Help me clean up my catch can
All the latest revision RevX cans have a PCV valve integrated into the can. And for a closed system, it will vent crankcase pressure fine but there is no way to flush out the harmful gasses & vapors & every time the motor cools they will condense inside the crankcase & eventually cause damage. You need to pull filtered fresh air through the motor. Blow by gasses are corrosive & unburn't fuel & moisture will contaminate the oil. Not good on a street car.
Here are some pics:
Here is the can mounted to the pass side cylinder head
Below is a pic of the PCV valve coming off the intake manifold and going to the can. (All the latest cans have an integrated PCV valve in them to avoid confusion)
Next is a pic of the spot where you splice in to the foam covered plastic hose that runs along the pass valve cover. (this application had the optional breather mod and shows the OEM fresh air fitting capped off. Not needed in most cases)
Below shows a supercharged application where it is mounted to the brake booster mount:
And last, a diagram of how a PCV valve works. This is all included in the revised instructions that come with each catch can.
And in different finishes:
Just ask questions if you want more info. The PCV system on our cars is the most misunderstood mod there is & far to many are done wrong. There is even a tuner out there plugging it all off & running open hoses from the valve covers down to the ground where they suck up dust/dirt/water/gravel & who knows what else directly into the valve train!
Slowly destroying the engine.:thumbs:
Hope this helps!
