C6 Corvette Catch Can - Catch Me If You Can

Follow along as we install an Elite Engineering PCV system catch can for C6 CorvettesThe PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and remove fumes from the engine crankcase, and to alleviate crankcase pressure which could cause oil leaks or seal damage. The PCV system routes crankcase fumes into the intake manifold where they can be burned to eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The PCV valve controls the amount of crankcase flow volume depending on the engine's load. With large throttle openings (high engine loads), more blow-by gases are produced and the PCV system flows more oil vapor into the intake manifold. The PCV valve also functions as a check valve to prevent the intake manifold flow from reversing back into the crankcase when there is a backfire, or during periods of high manifold pressure (boost) during forced induction by a turbocharger or supercharger.
