Oil Catch Can for 92 SE w/ VE30DE DOHC engine
All -
Does anyone have instructions for making their own oil catch can (goes between PCV valve and intake). My max w/ 160k is having some oil burning/smoking problems during longer idles, and I believe the catch can will remedy the problem.
I'd also be interested in purchasing a used catch can OR if you have a recommendation for any particular brand that would be helpful also.
thx, Mike

wouldn't it be a better option to figure out why it's burning oil and smoking instead of putting a bandaid on it?
i mean if nissan felt that it needed a catch can to run correctly they would've put one in from the factory.
how's that PCV?

can someone clarify this for me since I'm not familiar with oil catch cans and what it does:
A. what does it do?
B. if there is a small filter on the catch can, can the pcv valve be permanently removed, or is it simply an "add on" to the pcv valve?

Recently changed the PCV valve.
Spark plugs look great, so figure that rules out valve stem seals. Really not interested in doing work on it that is not necessary, esp. since the car is only worth about 2k....
Band aid would be fine at this point!!!!!
