Ahoy All!
Been a few months since I was in the General Discussion area. Some of you may remember that when I went to full sized I kinda went to the "Dark Side" (GM) and got a Silverado. Let me just say that I miss my Ranger. 'Nuff said.
Anyway, I started reading about guys using oil catch cans to combat oil consumption issues with the GM 5.3, which mine has. The idea made sense to me and I've been experimenting with them, using a cheap Amazon/Ebay can and making my own internal baffling system.
I'm actually testing mine against the base can from RXPerformanceProducts (if you Google search them you'll get taken to SpeedWorks or something like that - corporate hijack job selling cheap Chinese knock offs...long story, just email them @ RXProducts@aol.com if you want to talk to them.)
They simply install inline on the PCV hose and an effective can will spearate the oil mist, combustion byproducts, water vapor, etc being evacuated from the crank case before it gets returned to the intake manifold. Any engine with a PCV system can benefit from them.
Is this old news or something to look into further?
