OBS Catch Can

[Scooterwrench]

I'm glad someone invented the PCV valve. It gives the engine top cylinder lubrication which is a major plus with the modern dry fuels we run now.

Catch cans.. another device marketed to regular car/truck people to lighten their wallets!

How did we ever get along without them?

I just put a catch can on my C8. One of the guys on the forum who tracks his very enthusiastically pulled his intake manifold and poured out half a quart of oil into a glass. After 7 sessions at COTA I got roughly 1 shot glass of oil (only oil) in mine.

It's direct injection so there's no fuel to keep the intake valves clean. I dunno, I'd rather dump it out than send it through the intake.

You'd think long WOT pulls would pull the oil through.

At some point it equalizes, or it would just completely fill up.

if any one has an idea or knows how to make this system work the right way with out dumping it in to the intake please tell me

Assure that the valve covers are properly baffled, and the correct PCV valve is installed.

Catch cans work great if you have large ring gaps for nitrous or boost.

My areospace vacuum pump had a catch can and I drained it pretty often.

There is no issue as long as you run the engine long enough to evaporate all the condensation. I've seen bike engines ruined by bar hoppers that repeatedly fire up their engine,run it for just a few minutes and shut it off.
I've always recommended to run an engine for no less than 20 minutes after it comes up to operating temp before shutting it back down.

My old Allis Chalmers tractor manual says to run it for at least as long after reaching operating temp as it takes to reach temperature. Seems to make sense to me. Try to apply the same logic to everything with an ICE.
