This is the Moroso oil separator filter section; basically some course stainless steel wool in a separate internal container.

Really nice unit - and better be for $130.





Now to find a place to hide it...

Paul that makes me feel better. When I get my car back I will stuff it with stainless steel wool. I picked up some from the hardware store the other day.

I mounted my rather stout can under the left headlight. It took 3 different installs to get it low enough that the light wouldn't hit it. I moved the 'vacuum ball' over by the horn. Haven't driven enough to see if it has caught anything yet. Mine has a dip stick.

Just my opinion but that thing is almost too nice to hide. Some braided line and A-N fittings would really set it off.

Looking at some of these on ebay,there is a good selection to choose from at a wide disparity in cost. Maybe it's just me but I really don't care for the cans with sight glasses.

Yep. Purdy it is, I guess.

I'm thinking I want to avoid cluttering the engine bay or the motor as much as possible: tough to improve on the LT5 appearance as it sits.

My thoughts wander to intercepting the junction between the rubber PVC housing and the vent pipe, but using as much of the original vent pipe as possible, so-aZ not to alter the stock look any more than necessary. (Neither side of the bay is exempt from consideration, either.)

Great location. I'll be doing a black paint rattle can job on mine and hide it in this location. Looks like it was designed in that way. Good job!

I really like Cliff's install,,clean and sano. IMO,it enhances the engine compartment,not takes away from it.
