Default Anyone running a catch can?

Ive done the pvc mod but was wondering if a inline catch can would be beneficial. Anybody running one?

I got this still in work for my V8. Got to find a good place to mount it since I have SAI.

Did either of you make any progress on adding a oil vapor catch can? I was thinking about using something like this: https://uprproducts.com/upr-billet-catch-can-diffuser/

That’ll work.
I now use a $10 air line filter for my oil vapor catch container.


It works great...

Very nice. Can you show how it's connected to the valve cover? Thanks

The hose is connected directly over the metal tube that sticks out of the valve cover on the RH passenger side of the engine. I also removed and threw away the black oil separator that is inside of the metal tube.

how long did it take for you to fill the catch can that much? or rather how many miles?

I didn't check my exact mileage when I first installed it but this was after maybe 100 miles of driving.
So you know.... I removed the "Best4x4 mod" metal PCV and installed the original black plastic fitting back into the IM. I thought there might be too much of an air restriction with the new oil catch container and the PCV mod which might blow out a rear engine seal.
Since I'm now doing a top end engine refresh, I've reinstalled the Best4x4 PCV mod back onto my IM along with the oil catch container. We'll see how that goes.
