Oil Catch Can II

[LGAFF]

Oil is pulled into the plenum and adding oil can cause combustion issues(detonation)....Open up your plenum and you'll find as assload of it.


Its a damn LT5 not a lawnboy no need to add oil and fuel together!

Gotcha. I do remember there being a small amount in there after pulling the plenum. I don't recall it being very much at all though. Do you have a write-up / how-to on this?

Its pretty easy....

1)Purchase a catch can or as I did an air compressor filter.
-Buy 8ft or so of 5/16 hose(I think this is correct), ....basically the same size as the aluminum tube you are replacing.
- if using the compressor filter need 3/8 to 1/4 reducer and two 2 air compressor line nipples(1/4 I believe), along with a coupling barb to connect the PCVs to the 5/16 line.

2) Attach the 3/8 reducer to the filter, then screw in the nipples(ouch).

2)Buy a stainless steel pad to insert in the can/filter....this will help turn the oil vapor into a liquid to catch in the can....not steel wool but the thicker scrub pads.

3)Attach the barb to the PCV gomment and run it into the 5/16 hose...choose a place to mount the catch can and attach the line running from the PCVs. Then run the line to the plenum provision that the aluminum line was attached to.....

If using the compressor filter make sure you have in the filter facing the right way there in an inlet and outlet, otherwise I believe you will be pressurizing your engine.

Hope this makes sense.

I woud lean toward getting a catch can, I am not sure this last filter it holding vacuum, no problems with the one on the 92
