Installation of an Oil Catch Can
- 1). Fill the can with a small portion of steel wool if you're using a can that isn't internally baffled. The wool will function as a filter for the oil vapors as they pass through the can.
- 2). Depressurize the car's fuel system. In most cases, remove the fuel pump relay from the fuse box then run the engine until it stalls.
- 3). Choose a location in the engine compartment to mount the oil catch can. This depends greatly on the type and orientation of your engine, but there may be a good location on the frame rail.
- 4). Fasten the oil catch can to your mounting location within the engine compartment using the can's included bracket and its screws/bolts.
- 5). Disconnect the oil return line connecting the intake manifold to the PVC valve using a wrench on its fittings.
- 6). Connect the oil catch can to the PVC valve using a new vacuum line. Connect the can to the intake manifold with another vacuum line.
- 7). Tie the new vacuum lines down using zip ties, making sure you don't tie them to any components that move or get excessively hot.
