  • The Sundae Drive does an in-depth video showing how to install an oil catch can for a 2014 Silverado 5.3L. The process showed in this video will be similar in most Ford, Chevy, GM, Dodge Ram, Toyota, and Nissan trucks. What are the benefits of an oil catch can? Well if you visit the follwing sites you can read all about the benefits and importance of running an oil catch can. Catch cans are NOT ONLY for turbo/supercharger applications. They can be very beneficial for people with naturally aspirated setups.

    Purpose of your Stock PCV System:
    The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and remove fumes from the engine crankcase and to alleviate crankcase pressure which could cause oil leaks or seal damage. The PCV system routes crankcase fumes into the intake manifold where they can be burned to eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The PCV valve controls the amount of crankcase flow volume depending on the engine's load. With large throttle openings (high engine loads), the more blow-by gases are produced, and the more the PCV system flows oil vapor into the intake manifold. A small amount of that ignited mixture leaks past the piston rings and ends up in the crankcase. This leakage is often referred to a "blow-by" or leakage past the pistons. Some of the oil mist and other products settle along the engine intake and over time form a "gunk". Our oil catch can collect the oil mist and condensed the fuel vapors while allowing "cleaner" gasses to pass back into the intake manifold.

    In a system with no pressure, why use AN fittings when flat Corbin clamps are plenty? Plus, since you want vapors of oil, blow-by and moisture to condense into a liquid, you want a temperature drop. With an aluminum catch can over the exhaust, heat will quickly transfer into the can. It makes more sense to mount it in a cooler location after all there is plenty of PCV rated hose. The cooler location would allow higher thermal condensation of any liquid bearing vapor to fall into the can increasing its efficiency & producing much better results. It just seems strange to design & market a product and avoid proper placement. I would not install a remote oil filter adaptor and mount it to the dash! Think ahead as rear guys don’t read instructions.

    Catch cans are great, they definitely eliminate the blow by, however take caution in colder temps.
    I live in Colorado and my catch can freezes come winter time. The idea is to check it frequently, and always avoid idling the truck.🤙🏼

    The engines crankcase produces vapor of water, un-burn fuel, weak acids and carbon particulates. Mounting any catch can away from under hood / engine exhaust heat will help the cans media, cavities and surface area of contact, condense these vapors into a liquid. The length of hose in a quality kit will allow for better results. The addition of a 3rd fresh air line with one way check valves should be mounted directly in front of the throttle body. This ensures that a vacuum is present even during periods of WOT operation or towing. The engine is a vacuum pump, but behind the throttle valve, the intake reaches ambient air pressure. Only air source that is moving into the engine is in front of the throttle body and can be mounted on the bottom side. Without this, nothing goes into the catch can when blow by is at its worst.

      But at idle it has posative pressure right? So wouldn't a one way check valve cause an increase in posative pressure at the crank? It's 1.8 bar +P as is, and I've seen catch cans increasing +P to a level of 2.1-6.4. At 6.4 you're going to blow out seals like your rear main seal after a few months. I ordered a catch can with optional air intake. Been sitting on my workbench for 2 months. Still can't figure out if it's worth it. I have blowby for sure. I fixed half the blowby by replacing my valve covers with the new design that the GM TSB fixes but still can't figure out the best route and if I should use the air filter on the can. FYI the catch cans with the bronze filter are too restrictive, they tested way to high pressure of 6.2. Also the 3/8" line that comes with most cans is also too restrictive, I added 5/8" AN10 hose.

  • @TheDaltonmichaels
    @TheDaltonmichaels 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    you still have two lines one from each valve cover going to the intake before the throttle body, you haven't fully solved the issue. you should probably bridge those two valve cover lines together , and also run them into a catch can and then run an out line from the catch can to pre throttle body. Reason being , when you only have a line going from PCV to the manifold , the manifold pressure drops under heavy throttle applications at the same time under heavy throttle crankcase pressure increases , the only way you will still have a vacuum is by running a line before the throttle body.

    • @TheSundaeDrive
      @TheSundaeDrive  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are correct. They actually sell a catch can with an additional port so that you can account for WOT. This requires adding a bung which I didn't want to do. This system catches enough for my needs.

      @oldscar6169 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Your right I have watched this video and many others concerning PCV and catch cans and they are not consistent on there installation. On this vid his new system is not drawing air (vacuum) from the throttle intake or plenum, the hose is hooked up to the block valley plate not the Air intake, Press yes but not a vacuum. Im sure there will be press build up from the block , but is that the best way to route ?

    After installing the catch can, do you find you hear lots of air noise coming out of the crankcase into the can? It sounds like a vacuum leak. I don’t think it’s leaking, it just makes a lot of air noise which is fooling me for a bit of a rough idle.

I have a 2015 Silverado crew cab 5.3 v8, and just a couple of months ago my engine started to have a rough idle, even after I had an oil change done by the dealer, I mentioned the idle problem to the service men and their reply was to have a chemical flush that would cost me an additional $300.00. In your opinion what would you recommend if you where in my shoes? Thanks in advance for your reply!!

I take it the dealer for regular routine maintenance, and always get a clean bill of engine performance, but it could run better in my opinion. Thanks again for your help! ;-)

      The Clean-side solution addresses that small amount of oil vapor that enters the intake air charge upstream of the throttle body during WOT operation when the intake manifold vacuum is not present.
      The Clean-side solution allows 100% MAF metered air entry while trapping the oil during wide open throttle operation and allowing it to return back into the valve cover as soon as the throttle is lifted.
      Hope this helps!

      @The Sundae Drive, Well I am specifically referring to a (gas) engine, because I questioned the serviceman at the dealership I purchased my truck from, I told him." I would like to install a Oil catch can to prevent carbon buildup in my engine", and his reply was "it would void the warranty on my drivetrain", so I can only guess that it would apply to diesel engines also! If anything, I believe it is a scam to milk more money out of the car consumers, so that way the average (DIY) guy can't perform any maintenance on their vehicles, we will have to consort the dealership for any hick-up our cars and trucks may experience. This is just my opinion!!!

      @TheSundaeDrive  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It should not affect your warranty. But, your warranty can vary a lot based upon the dealer. They would have to trace an issue directly to the catch can to void any warranty. It is super easy to remove tho and it could not be detected that it was installed. You can check with your dealer to be sure

      Technically, no mod is allowed to void a warranty unless they can prove the modification caused an issue. However, I. Practice, different dealers don't follow that rule. If in doubt. Just remove the catch can before taking it in for service. 5 minutes to uninstall and reinstall.

      For direct injection motors unfortunately we disagree, it’s important because emissions regulations require the crankcase to vent back into the intake.
      Everyone knows it would be better to vent the crankcase to the atmosphere but that’s illegal and this is just a cheap solution by automakers without any regard for oil residue build up on the valves
