Oil Catch Can **PICS**
the valvecover to throttle body tube is fine, as there is never vacuum in front of the tb blade.
i have a hd seperator on my car
just one though... and i have it run through a vertical pcv valve first, then another 1 way valve

where did you get the breather?
I've only seen them for LT1 cars.
I looked at the Home depot compressor fliter I read on it avoid synthetic oils.
I allways use synthetic oil so now I'm seriously confussed.

Thanks for the kind words sir... The breather is a K&N that I bought at Summit it fits a 1.25 inch hole ..
.. I have been thinking of going to the catch can with the breather in the top and using stainless braided lines ... the breather seems like it lets a little bit of dirt into the engine .. when I pull the valve cover off it seems like there is a little bit of grit inside ..

I have a few questions also. IS there anyone who can tell me exactly what lines to unhook and where to put them i am sooooo confused. I see the pics but im sorry im still stumped. do you just unhook the pcv hose and run the catch can to that then back to the pcv hose that goes into the intake ? what do you do with the valve cover hoses ?

can just take the hose off the PCV (small end) add tubing go in can then go out can back into TB.
what do you do with the valve cover hoses ?I did nothing.
I did mine last week driven about 150 miles and have caugth 5 drops of oil.
I like this mod.

i thought that the pcv line goes into the intake manifold ? is there a wire up on this ? also couldnt i just use like a 20 ounce clear soda can ? why does it have to be a water seperator ?
thank you

I did the same. Mike Norris is the way to go.
