Oil Catch Can

[Hotrodron]

I just received my catch can today. when I was looking at the engine I noticed that one of the previous owners must of
removed the PCV. There is a hose that is just looped from the outlet to the inlet.

Hemicat is right, on 2004's they moved the pcv under the intake.My car also had the loop as yours did.

This is what my install looks like. I removed the dipstick and just put a screw in. I also put in a new PCV valve in while I was at it. Making the bracket took the most work and time.

After installing the catch can, I couldn't think of any reason not to go for a drive. Called insurance company then started her up for the first time since the end of October. She started right up with no hesitation, then pull out of the garage and went for a 120 km drive. WOW what a great felling being back on the road!!

Would installing a catch can on my 99 vert with 71,000 miles on the clock still be worth it?

Sure it would. There's alot more miles left in that engine yet. Every little bit helps.

And that monthly gallon of used oil has lots of other applications... lube hinges, treat wooden furniture, burn brush piles.... Just ask Don..

Where would be the best place for a decent price to purchase a good catch can? I do not imagine I could purchase one in Canada, but if so let me know. Also I'm no expert, but the catch can hemi-cat showed in his installation video was almost full with just a couple of runs on the track. Is that excessive oil getting by those piston rings? or am I wrong.

I think Rruuff ordered one from Davenport in Alberta.

Mine is from Elite Engineering out of the states, I purchased it from another fellow CCFer last year.

There are a number of different models out there, just watch the company videos and maybe ask here for opinions from those that have purchased and installed them.

Great winter project to pass away 15 or 20 minutes while you float a few ice cubes one night.

Thanks buddy.

I ordered mine from Dave at RaceReady garage in Cambridge Ont. They are one of our CCF sponsors. Nice unit. Easy install. Looks good too.

Thanks RRuuff, what was the cost and make of it?

 

[JSH]

Sorry RRuuff, I see it was a Raceready catch can.

 

[JSH]

Hey Rruuff, forget about that last post, must be getting old LOL, you had purchased it through Raceready, I sent him an e-mail Thanx.

Catch can never hurts, any oil it pulls out is always better than leaving it in

True that. Especially on direct injection engines.
