Catch Can

[4runna]

hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a catch can but not sure if there are brands to look out for or different brands that are better than others.
Not really sure on what to pay either, I have seen them at Super Cheap for $50 and then ones at Auto Barn for $300 ??

Any advice?

Tony

provent is the one to get, i bought a supercheap one first, it caught very little and leaked. The provent is very well designed and catches nearly all the oil.

Thanks Al,

PRO VENT 200 CRANKCASE BREATHER PROVENT 4WD

i bought mine from western filters, most of they cheap ricer boy ones don't have any filters in them so it only catches big heavy drops, the provent can catch even fine stuff. filter is good for 80,000km.

Mmmm, heres a good link showing what a couple of us have done to the cheaper cans, (I have the supercheap one) to make them work properley. Mine seems to work ok, haven't noticed anymore oil up in the PCV valve, (was leaking out of the bottom of the can till I nipped up the drain bolt), but they do need modding to work. An empty can does nothing.

Like Ray said- no need to sell your children to buy an expensive 1!! I got a cheaper 1 and modified the intake side with a tube and filled it with stainless scouring pads, been on for about 20,000km now & works a treat. Have since made & fitted at least 1/2 dozen for clients now too.
