Is my Cusco catch can correctly installed?
Have asked this before but it somehow got buried.
The instructions provided were Japanese and only showed an install for the front crankcase vent. It is my understanding the PCV is the main vent for crankcase blowby and for a daily driver with spirited use this is the one to vent, if any.
So, I split the provided tubing into 2 pieces. One end goes from the PCV to the can. The other from the can to the regular entrance to the intalke manifold that the PCV was piped to.
The tubing diameter was way too big for the PCV outlet barb so I improvised. I removed the bark tube apparatus previously. Turns out the interchangeable "noisemaker" is a perfect adaptor for the pipe to the PCV. I removed the foam and crap inside the grey elbow on the bark tube and used it to hook the tube to the PCV. I will keep an eye on the plastic to see if it can withstand the heat exposure but so far so good.
I havent found a non-hack part to adapt tube to PCV but would appreciate suggestions.
People with real knowledge please confirm that the hookup is OK. I have also heard it should just vent to atmosphere for the can to be effective vs under vacuum. Then Id need to plug the PCV to manifold inlet. What if I stuff a bunch of steel wool through a barb inlet of the bottle to help catch suspended blowby?
