Catch can set up?
Catch can set up? Pulled the Tb the other day and took a look in the manifold filled with oil. Where can I get A catch can set? I know you can make them your self but I want something that looks clean. Any Ideas?

Re: Catch can set up? I was having a problem where on decel i'd puff out smoke... so I installed a catch can (I have the LS6 valley cover and PCV too...)
I bought some *I think* 5/16" ID clear hose, 2 barbed hose connectors with 3/8" connectors, and 1 Craftsman air/water seperator. Connected thtem all together and I collected about 1 thimble full of oil after 50 miles of very aggressive driving. Since then w/a combo of aggressive and normal driving (400 miles) i've collected about another 2 or 3 thimbles full...
I did heads/cam/headers at the same time as the LS6 PCV so the other stuff may have cancelled the positive affect of the LS6 PCV out... dunno, but I am still sucking up oil... but at least now it's not all getting into my intake
WHen I did mine I didn't really care if it was neat.. I mean it doesn't look bad, but you can seeit when you pop the hood. With this setup though you could easily hide the catch can... just buy black hose instead of the clear hose, and run longer pieces somewhere so you can hide the catch can...
