It might sound dumb but ck the oil filter same thing happened to me.... put a oil wrench on the filter...

you might need to upgrade to the monster can if that is infact your problem

Blake, I got a Monster can for my motor....its huge and the hoses are much bigger. I am not feeling too confident in my HKE motor lately. Its 2 1/2 months past his estimate and have no better estimate yet?

SC2150 · 08-08-2012, 12:01 PM

Yes, anything over 10-12# boost and the Monster can is needed.

lol I guess this would eliminate the need for a larger catch can.

I had an oil leak after the Whipple install. Had trouble finding it. Two dealers told me it was the rear main. I don't think it was. I replaced the rear main, rear cover and gasket, oil pan gasket, and oil cooler seals. One of those fixed my problem. I believe it was the oil pan gasket.

if i'm reading this right ,,if you have a dual valve can the fresh air line goes into one of the valves on the catch can and it is capped at the passenger valve cover

pouncer72 · 08-08-2012, 06:16 PM

Catch cans do not help relieve crank pressure, they help catch oil in the line. By design, they can only ever possibly be a restriction. Your best bet is to increase the size (and thus flow) of your vent lines and fittings all around.

Whipped416 · 08-08-2012, 06:17 PM

problem fixed... took caps out fresh tube line back on with fresh tube line and a regular breather without the checkvalve... NO MORE LEAKS!!!

Whipped416 · 08-08-2012, 06:18 PM
