Oil Catch Can installation

[south of reno]

I had this thing sitting around and thought well...time to do something with It, so it looks cool, but i must give it a purpose.

I was wondering if anyone has installed one before and what the best set up was for my 210 a15 engine for placement and functionality?

its so pretty and shiny

[king bee66]

doesnt seem necessary for an aged A motor

[Zeusimo]

Meh :hmm:

[south of reno]

either i use it or toss it, can't just sit around anymore.<_<

[Wide14u]

you could put it on my truck but it would be the prettiest thing on it :D

If you put arms and legs on it you could have a very small sex robot..

 

 

Sorry i dont have any idea..

Somewhere out of the way yet easy to get at to empty. Pass side firewall?

Your one hairy mofo! Oh, and nice catch can. You could scuff it with scotchbrite for that brushed look. :)

That is best used on aged engines that have a lot of blowby. It is usually mounted on the firewall. Connect the hoses to the rocker cover breather and the block breather. When the oil comes up into the site tube, drain the oil off at the bottom.

If it needs a new home I could use it on my race car. I was thinking about buying one of those.

Yes i am lol

[kaoss]

I could use that for my 2003 Ford HD. Blower likes to pull oil from the PCV.

I ran mine cuz I got it cheap and there was no where to put the PVC lines and I didnt want to have filters on them

UPDATE!

And now it's done, i had room where the smog system was and put it there.

It looks sweet, nice install.

thanks, just took about 15 min.

Now you no longer have any crankcase ventilation but just pressure relief. All the combustion products from blow-by stay inside the engine. This is mostly water vapor plus carbonic acidic compounds that condense and form various forms of crud in the motor.

 

OK for racing motors that don't last long anyway, but even ancient autos had draft-tube ventilation that would draw air through the motor at near highway speeds.

notice the air filter at the cop of the catch can? theyre not sealed.

 

the factory PVC goes to the air filter and gets sucked backed into the combustion chamber.

[hogboy52]

The factory PCV system sucks air from the crankcase into the intake manifold and draws clean air from the air cleaner into the top of the engine. From what I can tell from photos, this is a closed loop system directly from the crankcase to the valve cover with a separator in between and a vent (the "filter") to release the fumes.

 

My head can't contrive a more "proper" system using this without a third line going to the intake. The purpose for these as I see it is when racing engines disintegrate to avoid spewing oil onto the track.

It has three lines sort of, valve cover vent hose leads to a T with the block vent into the can and back out of the can to the intake manifold.

it looks good to me :D
