Internal pcv catch can valve
Welp I just put everything together.. need to wait 72 hours for everything to cure. Then I can test. I bought eBay cans with the intention of modifying them with my own baffle system I’m not a fan of any can on the market so I figure I can fav the inside of these to work how I want avoid splash up and all that.
Current issue is the engine cover will not go back on. It fit prior to the new valve but I cannot route a tight enough bend so I’ll have to trim it which is the least of my concerns at the moment. |

Wow! Like what you did with the pcv tap. I have the mishi set up with the plastic tap. Any other details on how you made yours?

All aluminum round bar stock and a lathe. Basically tube runs into the internal valve straight through..routed to the can.. out can into the side of the valve whis open to the valve cover.

Dude when you said you were going to machine something, this is WAY beyond what I think a lot of people were expecting. Hard line tubing, fittings everywhere. Nice job man, that's an insane amount of time into the project.
I'm curious how it does with the triple setup, and with hard lines most people can probably follow along your routing to see which path everything takes. Also hopefully no vacuum leaks. lol. |

All the fittings are sealed with high temp sealant. I have been running without the internal for a while no leaks so as long as the internal pcv adaptor is good I’m good. Once I test it and it’s good I’ll make better baffling and polish everything. That won’t be fun.
Thanks for the compliments all! |

This looks so confused. Why do you choose to use three cans? Also is there reason you choose aluminum line?

I’ve never routed hardline before so I apologize that you are not happy with my routing, but I did it myself and proud. I took on a project that I have never attempted before and damn proud I did it.
3 cans is so all three parts of the pcv system dirty side are collected and fed back to the motor clean. No worry of clogging check valves, no issue of clogging the vacuum pump. Stainless would have been a pain to work with, heavy, offered 0 benefit to this type of system and double the price.. aluminum is light easy to polish easy to keep clean and honestly much easier to bend and route. |

Really I chose 3 cans because because I didn’t want to cap off any of the factory system I figured they made it a certain way for a reason.. some engineers that know a lot more than me.
The aftermarket kits just did not seem worth the money or routed things ways they shouldn’t be routed through vacuum pumps. The big thing was the internal pcv valve and how to catch it.. I saw the mishi valve but cheap plastic, the cans are small the baffling is trash way to many ways for splash up to occur then you are back to filling the intake system with oil. It’s just not worth the money. Last edited by Thandel; 09-24-2018 at 07:53 PM. Reason: Spelling |

I hate the LTG pcv system in its entirety. I hope too avoid most shortcomings with a specific fuel, oil, and maintenance routine.
But, regardless of the pcv system,.. I think you've done something better here!! Somehow...... You legit, made the LTG engine bay look better

Much appreciated. I do like the way it looks I actually took tomorrow off work so either I’m going to the Englishtown swap meet to look for some used parts I can salvage or if it is raining.. polish time begins.
Hopefully I’ll be able to take it out for a drive tonight to test it out. I do know the 2 cans on the outside are catching though minimal due to no baffling so just want to make sure nothing crazy pops up with the internal.. then baffle and show that.. |
