Default Update: Installed the oil catch can...



I bent the stock PCV rigid line so that I could attach a catch can without the can pulling on the F-piece or the dual-connector thing up front. Now all I have to do is get an actual catch can! I'm thinking about that CCA one just because it doesn't seem to be too large or anything, and it may mount up nicely on the brake booster.

Edit, also, man are those GM coolant pipe gaskets crap! Mine are maybe 2-3 years old. The bolts were all wet and corroding again. Plus the gasket didn't survive removing the hose. I've ordered some Jerry's ones to replace them on both sides, I'm sure the other side is all crapified as well.

Edit later: See update on post 29

What is that mounted to? Did you have to add holes to the wheel liner?

the bottom of the can is basically a cup. it just unscrews and then you can pour the oil out of the 'cup'

there is no drain valve on the bottom
