Thanks

[LX-incredible]

just installed mine and have a question.. do i keep the pcv valve? or do i just remove it and run the line straight to the box.

and the epoxy did not get along with my paint and the paint chiped off the in aera.. but there are no leaks i vac tested the can lol ima put some jb weld around the bung anyway though when i add another one for the valve cover (currently have the valve cover ran in to the intake) and yes i do need a vaccum cap for the manifold will get one tomarrow

EDIT:
top 4 pics are the finished pics for the night

and i decided to run the line from the oil separator straight to the catch can without pcv valve... and im going to add another bung to the catch can and add the valve cover line to it, also going to get some vac caps since the hoses with the bolt in it are gay lol

Disappointing... I was expecting a pringles can.

lulz im gonna be making one outta a seafoam can soon. Then upgrading to a crown royal bottle

well in CAH's defense, I was kinda relived that he used that bottle.
I was afraid he was going to blow him self up with the propane bottle.

CAH when you up grade go with the large rockstar can,it already has a large opening for the larger filter.

[89T]

Rendon did you drill the hole just for the fitting or did you drill extra holes in the baffle too.

If you guy's are woundering what i am talking about go here.

did it smell like fuel?
better to loose 1/2 a quart in the can than on or in you're engine.
edit: you put a baffel between those holes and the new fitting right?

[Rendon LX-i]

NO...lol...i was woundering how do you did you do that..it was more oil but you can smell the gas...motor runs good. i just put it back in it looked clean...K well im going to have to put a baffle...so how did you do it....Runs great otherwise..

Show me how you did it. Cause i jb welded my fitting in for a good seal...i dont want to take it out LOL.

Now that im thinking i shouldnt of put that oil in there...Well its my first time so ill wont do it next time.

[Rendon LX-i]

Also...My fitting is right next to the holes...so its not in like yours. IM assuming you put it where under the baffle...What a fool. I owell. I fucked up.

[89T]

so it does not look like this.

here is the post with the baffle.

I hope you have a spare v/c.

[89T]

page 1 post 1 has been updated to include a link that i feel is a must read, when adding a second fitting.

k i finished mine today.. found some hose and another fitting in a box and ran the valve cover to the can. got about 120 miles since i did the 1 line and there was no oil in it yet... but i also noticed that my exhuast tip was not black

[Rendon LX-i]

nice cah very nice.

YA i do but i i would have to polish it again and its alot of work....so idk. alot of v/c are just tap and theres no baffle...so wtf.

[Rendon LX-i]

So is this bad to have it this way.

[Rendon LX-i]

Well i was doing some researching. And doesnt say you have to tap it under the baffle...guys just put a fitting where ever....so i guess its fine...ill just have to put up with the oil

LOL...ill have to tap my other valve cover..GAYNESS. so can you give a close pic...So ill have to drill a hole where the slant on the valve cover...FUCK if i would of know i would of done it the first time...Thats why im loosing so much oil.

rendon ,just because everybody else taps them wherever they want, it doesn't make them right.

what you are trying to catch is the mist and vapors and not the actual oil being slung around by the rockers.

I'll get you a pic in a few...

what do you need?(PIC)

[Tdurr]

hmm... think im gonna go grab some fitting from ace hardware tomorrow...
