I can understand the logic better on a DI engine because you want to stop the carbon on the back on the valves. Now that i learned about catch cans, and carbon build up. I think its kind of a waste to install a catch can on a under warranty port injection engine. really kind of sad, the OP got screwed for something he probably didnt even need. his engine proabably would have ran fine his entire ownership without one. then once a problem happens (oil pump failure) GM covers you.
I also heard that in about 4-5 years they are going to pretty much solve this problem with new tech. (this is talked about on the corvette forums). But you can count on once the carbon build up problem is solved we WILL have another type of problem to deal with. Always some kind of weak point with engines. Thats why its best to just buy the best car you can afford, enjoy it with a warranty. worry about bigger stuff in life.
I plan on not installing a catch can on my vette either.

....during the warranty period you mean, Right? Regarding last sentence...
Curious hea...What will you be doing after the warranty period ends? Keeping it for fifteen...twenty years say? Hmm? ��
Obviously, if you are trading in the lease after 4-5, disregard the question.
