oil catch can

daewoomofo · Post by **daewoomofo** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 3:16 am

i am looking to make a oil catch can for my 2001 lanos 1.6, to get rid of the burned oil smell from my heat, and to not have oil going into my engines intake charge. i am just wondering if i can hook both of the vent hoses to the same can

is this ok to do? is there any thing i should look for, and things i should not do. also are there any more hoses that i should hook to it, or do i really need both hooked to it? as always you help is greatly apreciated. thanks in advance

catch can is a relief for our cars

look how dirty your intake manifold and intake side of the head get with thoose hose connected

i dont have a catch can all i did was disconnect both hoses from the intake and intake manifold
believe me now there is no oil in my intake side valve are clrean everything else is

and yes you must disconnect both lines and remember to block the smaller one in the intake manifold or u will have a vacuum leak

yeah i knew to plug the hole. i always knew it was bad to have them connected to the intake, but i dont want to make a (bigger) mess of my engine bay so im gonna use a can, thanks

I just have a hose about afoot long that is turned down so it starts heading below the engine. I haven't noticed any kinda mess at all.

I want the same on the 1.5 so to be sure the hose from the vavle cover goes to the oil catch and from the oil catch to the intake hose is that correct.

There is a cool picture how-to in the spanish section using an air-compressor line drier as a catch can...

i saw that before. the only poblem is that its really small and i would have to tie in the 2 lines to one to make it work or get 2 cans, my pvc one will work after i make it, and i can have more than one inlet.

Sorry everybody for my stupidity. What will the catch can do to help our cars? What vent hoses? Plug what hole?
