why a catch can?

excessive crank case pressure thats why
keep in mind, this was only after about 3-4 hard pulls, the can was clean previously.
our cars....do not like high rpm runs very much.
this is a perfect example of why you should never be hotlapping.....
or doing back to back extended high rpm driving, well...without certain precautions anyway

 

Hmmm might just have to install one

 

I'm putting one on my 2.2

 

breather filter... works the same... not as complicated.

 

it does. but air filters arent going to deal with the liquid very well...

ideally, a catch can THEN a breather filter....would be perfect.

 

I'm gonna hafta do that cause I usually push her a bit hard and I don't want that circulating in the engine...

 

good job buddy

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

 

still need to get that intake tubing...lol then it will be on

 

great mod and they are fairly cheap, its amazing how much nasty crap is picked up in it in such a short period of time....

 

I was actually looking for the can in HD today, they were sold out. Guess all you guys beat me to it

 

is it me or does that look a bit milky

 

SO.....time for a how to?? preventative ideas to rid that ****??

 

when you consider that often the oil up in the valvetrain is a bit on the frothy side....
i was doing hard pulls, in pretty cold air....and it was shot out the valve cover due to excess crank case pressure....its not all that surprising that it doesnt look like nice brown engine oil anymore

pull your engine oil cap after some runs. youll see what i mean.

 

mine looked just like that right after i blew a ring land.
that was the first indicator that i had a serious problem, the only difference was mine was half full of the same milky stuff.

Eeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!

 

yep, looks like ur car blew its load...... u must of hit a good spot, and it couldnt hold back.

 

i think i'll be doing this now seeing that....just gotta find parts

 

i need one of these

 

half full yeah. thats a problem lol.
keep in mind im in pretty cold temperatures...a little emulsified oil is pretty common.
look under your oilcap. i garuntee youll see a little on the bottom of it.

 

I'm gonna bring an old thread back from the dead....................where do you get one on these and how is it installed? Thanks
