7.3 CCV Catch Can

powerSmokin · Apr 30, 2014

Has anyone made a catch can for a crank case vent? Mine seems to be getting more blowby and it's really annoying blowing out from underneath the truck. Been pushing up my oil dipstick too when I do some hard boost runs.

Sounds like you need more than a catch can.

I know the motor is getting tired. Has almost 300k and I have been pushing it for the past year on 40-50 pounds of boost on stock head bolts. I need to install the ARP's I bought. If it breaks I'll just do a build on it.

you will be wasting you're time installing those head studs. if you are pushing up the dipstick means its just tired and worn out.

Buy another motor and start building now.

Easier said than done, trying to get into a house this summer so I will have to piece this build little by little I suppose then, this is unfortunate news.

That would be cool... Dont know what it runs, but if I was worried about a can I would look at that.

Who makes that? Do well does it work to keep oil vapors from going back into the intake or does it vent into atmosphere?

That is a strainer from tractor supply. I use the same thing. Works great and cheap.

OBS-Addiction97 · Apr 30, 2014

got a P/N? do you mount it on the passanger side over the trans back into the intake.

What's the inlet and outlet size on this?

Does oil still get into the intake and grease everything up?

ja_cain · Apr 30, 2014

In theory you should be able to condense out a lot of oil so it will take much longer to build up oil in the intake/intercooler.

I run the 5/8 one I think. They make all different sizes. Mine is the same as the CCv hose

I put a oil diaper in mine just to help absorb oil. Never had any problems
