PCV oil catch can...?

[New C5er]

Just wondering if any one has added one of these to their motor and do they really work at what they claim to do. Does a non track or non speeder really need this?

PCV Oil Catch Can for 1997-2004 C5,C5 Z06, C6 LS2 and Z06 Corvette

This would do the same thing for a lot less money. It also has a sight glass to show how full the trap is and a pet cock drain in the bottom. Amazon.com: NEW Eastwood Air Compressor Oil Separator Filter: Automotive

They do really work Al. I've had one on my 'vette now for over a year and it has collected quite a quantity of gunk over that time. I was quite surprised.

Thanks Keith and Colin. Colin can you sill put the valve cover back on, and this one of yours looks different than the one I linked too.
Another question , my water remperature is always around 90C and a lot higher in slow traffic.Don't want to put a lower degree thermostat in for fear the motor will stay too cool to efficiently burn the gasoline.How much was yours Colin?. And question three did Manny install yours and does he sell them, but if so it is under the valve cover.
That's all........

Hi Al -- we're always glad to help -- no problem.

The valve cover still fits on ok -- it takes a little maneuvering of the can but it's quite do-able.

Normal temp for our engines is up around 90*C so quite normal. I did put in a 72*C stat tho due to heavier loads from the 'charger. Also a better radiator.

Manny has the Elite engineering catch cans which is what I have. They are very nice and billet aluminum.
He did install mine but putting one in is quite straightforward.

Colin.
