I viewed this as I really didn't want to change what GM designed. I figure their engineers know more than me and if they wanted to add a catch can that they can charge me to empty they'd do it. So I never installed one. This video makes me feel like I should haveWould installing a catch can help and make a big difference??
Would installing a catch can help and make a big difference??
Ok I'm not watching a 19 min video on a subject that's been in my industry since forever...
But what is this catch can shit you gheys are talking about
Lmao. Once again we've been doing this for years... We just have a line that drains it back to the crank case.
Have you guys heard about these things called piston cooling jets too?
Yea diesels had that forever toos.
Yes and no. It'll mitigate the issue, but won't stop it. It seems to just delay the inevitable.
Chemicals can help, but some manufacturers discourage it, as it'll loosen up chunks that could end up going through the engine and or turbo.
Meth injection seems to help prevent. But dual fueling seems to be the best overall solution.
The go to/safest way to clean up existing carboned up runners, is media blasting service.
As to catch cans and what not, there is a common misconception that any oil, vapor or carbon is bad and not wanted. That is actually untrue. A small amount of this is actually GOOD for your engine and emissions/driveability. Think EGR systems, which tend to commonly let oil back into the intake... They do this by recirculating a small portion of exhaust gasses back into the engine, which contain oil, vapor, etc... In this process it reduces nitrogen oxide and can slightly reduce the need for extra fuel to be sprayed on the intake side.
Now if you're dumping your catch can on a daily basis and pouring out 3 quarts of oil and crud, there's a problem. But small amounts, no. You're actually hurting the process trapping it and removing it from the process.
There’s a lot of information that would disagree on Camaro6.com
The aftermarket catch can will keep the engine cleaner, longer
But some asshole dealers deny any warranty claims if it’s installed
Less liability. I completely understand it.
I don't clean intakes on 6.7s. they get replaced
