| Well, I mounted and hooked up my Catch Can I bought from Shawn. I went with a different location though, for easier access. Cause it always looked a little cramped in the normal location for a 3.5..... here is what I came up with since I had SO much empty space in this location........... I got a piece of sturdy metal, drilled a hole in it, cut off a bolt head, and welded the bolt into the hole, and just cut a rubber hose down the middle and put it on each side so it holds the plate in the coolant bottle tabs that weren't serving any purpose LOL BEFORE :  AFTER:

They help filter oil and gas vapors from puddling up in your intake manifold.. It's a preventative mod and well worth it for any motor.

| The way I understand it, there is a certain amount of condensation that occurs inside an engine. This condensation causes water in the oil. When an engine warms up, the water becomes steam (along with a certain amount of oil carried with it) and is expelled through the PCV valve that is routed back into the intake manifold and burned.
The catch can traps this unpleasant mix of oil & water and prevents it from being fed back into your cylinders. | |
