Anyone have any opinions about PCV catch cans.

 

What's that? Does it hold excess PCV fluid or something?

 

Catches blow by, fab your own which will run ya 20 bucks

 

I like mine and made mine for about 20 dollars it works. I will get pics up in a few to show you.

 

Why would you want to catch blow-by? Is it for emissions?

 

In theory, it helps stop engine sludge from building up on your valves. I just didnt know if anyone here would sware it is amazing or weather it is just another throttle body spacer thing.

 

I run a PCV Oil Separator....if you look at the top left corner in the photo...you can see a black thing with two black lines on either side....The PCV hose goes into one side of the oil seperator and then comes out the other side and attaches to vacuum on the intake....basically it filters out any oil from the PCV that would be burned back through the motor.....It probably holds about 4 ounces(depends on your motor how often it will fill up...mine takes about 800-1000 miles).....

Husky Air Compressor seperator from Home Depot...$20....Steeda sells a kit for like $80

I thought only vette's and DSM's needed catch cans... lol

 

thats a rip for 80 bux. We have those filters on our bulkoil tanks at work and they cost like 10 bux from our distributor. The rest is just hose. So if I understand, these keep sludge off our valves or something??

 

That's funny 'cause 95% of the gunk on your valves is from oil seeping past the guides and stem seals.
