Modding your PCV system is the same thing as deleting your cats.

If you change any part of PCV you technically speaking have committed a federal crime, which usually for this results in a fine.

The point i am trying to make is that this would be a easy case for GM because the OP has committed a federal crime.

guys please just google what i am saying, its really not a hard concept to understand. If i was a lawyer it would be so easy to tell the court the OP has changed a finely tuned emission control device.

When money is on the line, they will try everything they can to win the case.
I could see them using this angle if it is in the slightest of grey areas. Good point.

If the catch can is an emissions certified componet and it was installed to manufacturer specs then there argument would be worthless. Regardless, they still would have to prove how it caused the oil pump to fail if that is what really happened to his car. I haven't read definitely that that was the failure.
