Hmm.. oil catch can

superbean · April 27th, 2009, 11:25 AM

Well I had a brain fart before, i was running open breathers and a pcv valve, and that wont work, so I was thinking about getting another set of valve covers that do not have breathers, only pcv valve locations.

Could I just run two pcv valve and then run hoses to a catch can? That way Ill at least have some kind of vented breather system going.

I also have a set of stock ho valve covers I would use if I can. Any issues with 1.7 rockers and how could I do the pcv setup on that as it only has one breather tube off the oil filler neck.

That won't work. PCV valves need vacuum to operate or the check valve inside will stay closed. You can run hoses from both valve covers to a breather tank like this Moroso tank. Moroso 85466 - Moroso Vacuum/Dry Sump Breather Tanks

man im thinking about this too hard arent I lol

Darrell to the rescue.

I think im just going to run my stock H.O. valve covers and since it has a tube comming off the oil fill, I'll run that hose to a catch can. That way its vented.

what's wrong with the stock setup? Are you sucking oil into the intake.

I'd probably just go with breathers.

Too small. Its going to be hard to breath thru that small tube. At least get a screw in breather for the valve cover. I know K&N makes one....or made one anyway. I have one. If you can't find anything let me know and maybe I'll send you the one I have if you cover the shipping.

Yeah, they still make them. I had one on my 89.

I agree, you can use two pas side stock valve covers and go with the screw in breathers and your done.
