Catch Can Results

[Bottoz]

After the engine break in on the dyno, dyno testing the new pulley, and 65+ track miles, I checked the catch can for any oil blow by. It was bone dry. I've got 90 miles total on the engine. I figured we could post our results here.

The drain plug is screwed on pretty tight. Righty tighty, lefty lucy! I put on a little vacum tube I use for brake bleeding at the exit of the catch can. As you unscrew the valve, you can physically see when it's fully open or fully closed. The threads on the valve screw are visible. It's pretty simple.

Anyone?

Was there as question in there?

Lefty Lucy? I thought Lucielle ball was right handed, and so was the girl from Peanuts. Ohh you mean "lefty loosey".. 

Bump...

Just wondering if anyone has checked their catch can... and if so, did it have any oil in it.

up until last week I did not even know what it was since I could not find it in the GM service manual for the ecotec.

Well... even after 2 full track days and some 1/4 mile runs, there's no oil in the catch can.
