can anyone tell me where the vacuum hoses go, that come out of the oil catch can? Im assuming thats what its called. Lil black box on back side of block has a red L shaped thingy sticking out of the top and another vacuum hose that goes directly into the block. Its located right below the lil water tube by the oil filter. on GSR motor. I can send pix from my iphone but dont know how to post them on here. appreciate the help conrads! haha

thats not necessarily a catch can, but its kinda the same. that l-shaped thing is a pcv valve. the hoses go to the intake manifold.

 

kewl, pcv valve? its red, dont really look like it serves any purpose other than connecting the hose to that lil can. haha

 

how do you have/or had these...

00 USDM PY ITR stock in the dirt (R.I.P.) 400whp daily driven with AC teg coming soon!

but not know what a pcv valve is?

 

what you mean how????????? those are all my previous rides....I didnt know the pcv valve was there. NEVER had a problem with it, was never a concern, was never switched out, hince, dont need to know where/what it is.........and im not sure we are all talkn bout same part

 

yeah, youre talking about the breather box on the back of the motor. behind the block, under the water pipe and below the intake manifold?...

 

it's an oil/vapor separator. all the bad crap goes through the top, and is sucked into the manifold to be burned, there's a baffle inside that allows the oil vapors picked up to condense out, then they run back into the return oil galley through the other hose which plugs straight into the box, on the three geez, the pcv hose cracks all he time, and the hose from the pan to the box is a perpetual leak, I fixed all that though..................
