Elite Engineering Oil Catch Can - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just finished installing my oil catch can for my L99.
Actually Ill give my wife most of the credit as she is more mechanically inclined than I am

I was very hesitant to start this project as I am not a car guy.
It really wasnt that bad though.
Took it for a test ride when we were through and no check engine lights came on so I think we did it correctly

Im anxious to see how much oil it picks up.
Sorry for the quality of the pics.

Congratulations on the install. These LS engines really do need a catch can to protect the intake.

Keep an eye on it, mine fills up like every 3 weeks, I have a problem with my Valley cover but the dealer says I dont!!!! You should only see a very little bit every few thousand miles!!!! Keep us informed!

After around 300 miles, I looked in my catch can today.
There was about a teaspoon in there.
Not sure if thats good or bad?

That's good.

It means that it was installed correctly, is collecting crankcase waste vapor but not an excessive amount.
