Glad I stumbled upon this channel my friend. I'm building a 6.0 in a 49 Chevy. Of course the same intake as yourself. I could not get injectors in the intake. Long story short I had to ream the holes out in order to get my Holly injectors to fit the intake. As for the catch can I'm glad I saw that video as well. I will be running boost and it's good to know I need to go with the double inlets on the catch can. It's my first time ever building LS motors so a lot of this stuff is new to me. Great great explanations on your videos. Thank you.
Hey! Thank you! So I just went through making the injectors fit properly. There are several different o-rings. You need to find the ones that fit your intake/rails. Here’s the intake video about it: Fabricated Sheet Metal Intake Manifolds - Should YOU Get One? ruclips.net/video/ko7hYBJtKQw/видео.html
Best thing for those push to connect fittings - boil a pan of hot water, dunk the hose end in the water for a minute or so, then slam them on the fittings. Works well and leaves no residue that can cause the hose to blow off later.
Yes. I just dont like using the term in videos because people too frequently consider the phrase a “bad” or negative thing, when of course all engines have some degree of blow-by. I just dont want to make anyone that might not know that, nervous.
I placed a catch xan on my first Ram 1500 5.7 hemi at 1200 miles. My new 1500 I placed a catch can at 150 miles and at 16,545 miles and it being a 2021 hemi etorque it is definitely keeping my NA engine intact spotless. It's a sealed that unit I purchased from ebay years ago for $59 shipping and handling. It mounts to the head of the block
Thank you! Its a well made product. The LY6 is such an oily engine and with no other vacuum ports other than the intake, the two inlet design just made a lot of sense
I plan to run a dual sealed catch can setup from Racetronix. One will be inline from a valve cover to the air filter base, and the other will be inline from another valve cover to the throttle base PCV port. The twist on my setup will be this adjustable billet PCV valve from Wagner Performance on the outlet of the 2nd catch can, which will keep it cleaner than it being on the valve cover passing the contamination to the catch can. Im sure some people will think what they will about my first catch can being plumbed to the air cleaner base, but the factory engineers were clever! There is more negative pressure between the air cleaner and the throttle, where the engine bay will be at atmosphere, or even pressurized slightly. Under load, your crank case will fare better if the breather line was being scavenged over being vented.
@@necro5230 if you watch the demonstration by motion raceworks of them testing that can, It does a perfectly fine job of removing all the oil from the air anyway, without any internal media
That looks good brother. The Ly6 intake I got with alot of the parts I am using for my Ls3 swap had a bit of oil in it as well. I will definitely be running a catch can. Thank you sir.
Oil vapers have been going back into our engines for many years, we didn't see it in manifolds because it went in before the carb, in the air filter, and then was "washed" away by the air/fuel mixture. Now because intakes have no fuel in them we can see the oil collect. I will be running a sealed catch can, mainly for the odor a vented can will cause. As much as I would like a live show, the timing never works for me, I either forget or I'm busy.
I had a crazy idea of removing the breather, and plumbing a stainless braided line back and tapping the exhaust somewhere. Would still be a vented catch can, but the exhaust would help pull vacuum and I wouldn’t have visible vapor or odor. Hmmm 🤔
@@ScottTheEng I have headers so I’d have to drill and weld a bung on. They do make clamps that have the bung too… maybe thats an option if further downstream 🤷🏻♂️
Hi, I need some advice please. My car is rebuilded, new proper gapped piston ring, turbochared, no pcv, vented oil catch can. I have smoke from the filter on the top of it. Is it dangerous? Is it flammable? How to fix this it's scary. Thanks.

Glad I watched this. I was on the fence with the filtered setup, but now I know what I want to do.
@@blinketo197 Thats really cool to hear. Glad it helped you out! Good luck, and thanks for watching!
Super clean setup! I was wondering about the catch can setup.. looks good! I may get me covers soon
Thank you. Good luck with your project!

I used to do that. I find that the BEST way is to use new hose. But a slight film of silicone grease never hurt
Great content mike.
Thank you! Much appreciated
Mike that would be called “blow by” thanks for the rundown.
Yes. I just dont like using the term in videos because people too frequently consider the phrase a “bad” or negative thing, when of course all engines have some degree of blow-by. I just dont want to make anyone that might not know that, nervous.
AWESOME CONTENT.
I’m currently in the exact same position of my build as you are. Thanks for the advice
You’re welcome! Good luck hope it turns out awesome

My daily is a 20’ Laramie 5.7. Love it!
As soon as I saw Motion Raceworks I knew which one you were using! Another great video.

Sounds inventive and elaborate. I like it
add the pot scrubber stainless wool from dollar type stores allows oil a place to wick onto works great
The Amazon can actually came with a little ball of that stuff lol
I did that same thing but the wool ended up rusting and falling apart. I even found some flakes in the oil filter on the next oil change

Great intake but yeah, that PCV system isnt for me
@@intheshoptv Yea garbage!!!
@@GrandPitoVic agreed
Lives, yea.man!!!!!
Could be fun!
I run 2 out to atmosphere on my camaro with several crankcase filters, I am running 950 rwhp.
Yep you need em with that kind of power. Do you get much steam/smoke noticeable at idle?
@@intheshoptv very little, but you can certainly smell oil after wot.
@@chriscook377 I can smell mine at idle. The LY6 is an oily sob

@@intheshoptvsome of the exhaust manifolds have EGR ports that potentially be used? I had a similar thought.

I'm down with the live videos, a man can never have to much knowledge..
Thanks! Yeah I picked up a few things from viewers myself.
All direct injection engines need catch cans
She’s an oily one.
Hi, I need some advice please. My car is rebuilded, new proper gapped piston ring, turbochared, no pcv, vented oil catch can. I have smoke from the filter on the top of it. Is it dangerous? Is it flammable? How to fix this it's scary. Thanks.
@@alundrasrt Do you mean what looks like smoke coming out of the catch can filter?
ROFLMFAO!!!! DAD JOKES!!!! YUS SUH!!!! WE def are allowed the middle aged dad jokes. WE EARNED IT!!!!!
I mean making these videos, Im literally talking to myself for hours… might as well make myself laugh at stupid jokes!
@intheshoptv I know that lol. Some I have to cut it. Yea I prob shouldn't post that. Lol
@@GrandPitoVic for sure
Yeah, I wouldn’t want that oil sitting in my intake either.
Yeah, that’s out. Cant do it. Lol
