I need help with a PCV problem.. I'm gettin OIL in my New Throttle Body.. LOoks like it's gettin thru the PCV... Anyone have a catch can installed on their LS1?
Road Race Engineering has a filter on the top of theirs. I had that on my turbo eclipse but I had PCV disabled too. so I don't think it mattered.. I read need some technical understanding on what to do..
it'd be nice if one had a drain to.. to just flip a lever and it pours out the little spout..

Re: I need help with a PCV problem.. A catchcan will work, but its going to catch a lot of oil if your car is a heavy oil consumer. There are a few ways to reduce the oil usage, but not so many ways to eliminate it all together.
The best way may be a combo of a catchcan and the LS6 PCV conversion.
BTW, when I had a catchcan, it was a large one from jegs and I mounted it inside the front bumper of the car. It was drainable via the panel you use to change fog lights on a camaro (just in front of each front wheel). Don't remember the cost.
