Oil catch can?

[brwk]

Transmission cooler line will be a heavier wall. Emissions should be fine and not collapse as it is designed to support vacuum. Fuel line is too soft.

 

Make sure the checkvalves are flowing the correct direction. Away from the can.

I sent you pics as you requested however I have no reply yet.

Can you hear it hood shut? I could hear it if I stuck my head in the bay. With hood shut and normal idling I haven't noticed it at all.

Yes I can however not too loud. When its open there is no doubt. Plus now I smell a little warm oil in the cab and outside. Not much but not normal. Has anyone else with a 2015 5.3 get a hissing noise?

I do not have any noticeable noise with my catch can.

The can will act as a amplifier of all noises, but did you send the pics to: [email protected]? Re-send please.

 

Thanks!!

My mechanic had a good thought....why not route the PCV gases directly into the cylinders? "Direct injection" for the PCV system so to speak. It would accomplish the same goal but eliminate the valve buildup issue. Engineers need to consider this approach.

But then, how will you seal against 3000 psi of force when the mixture ignites? No easy answers.

 

My solution is to just go back to having a filter on the valve cover. It worked ... and nobody died from breathing it.

I mean you can't just run a hose straight into the cylinders. There needs to be some kind of engineered piping system with a check valve if some sort to prevent back pressure. I don't know all the details but they should consider designing a system that safely routes the gases that way.

Just another system to break and cost $$$. Imagine the carnage (and noise) when the valve lets go ... and we all know it will.

 

There was a time when I trusted automakers to design a good, reliable system. Those days are long gone. Cheap is the name of the game today, unfortunately.

 

Good idea, if they could make it failure-PROOF.

So with winter now essentially knocking, how does the Elite CC perform where weather up here can hit -30c? I don't have a heated garage unfortunately. I am a non-aggressive driver but do an easy 500km's a week. Truck just rolled 10k kms. Idling will also be more pronounced as well

Temperature shouldn't affect performance of the can unless you forget to empty it and let it fill up too much and freeze. But with the inlet and outlet ports located at the top, air should always flow through just fine.

Elite, I'm looking of order one of your CCs but not sure of what bracket to order, I have the 5.3 in my sierra...please advise

[schmolf4]

which bracket has everyone been ordering their elite CC with, I'm assuming the 6.2 would be the same as the 5.3l....

That's correct. Our 62L Bracket fits both the 6.2L V8 and 5.3L V8. If you order a Catch Can, you'll specify your vehicle type during the checkout process. We'll review that information and be sure the correct bracket, fittings, and hardware are shipped to you.

So, I added a second output fitting to my Original RX catch can. I had been emailing with the RevExtreme folks about the benefits of a dual output can, and they were gracious enough to send me the parts needed to convert my single output can into a dual output can. With some simple instructions they explained to me how to add the second fitting. So this morning I gathered the tools needed and decided to document the whole process. It didn't take long at all. Maybe 2 hours (but I was filming).

 

Here it is:
