Oil Catch Can
I purchased a catch can for my ZO6 to reduce the amount of oil in the intake. I've read quite a few of the Corvette forums, and this seems to be a common problem that we all must deal with. Most of the catch cans I've seen go for between $65.00-$175.00. Here is the one I purchased. http://store.zerotek.net/unjdmalraoil.html
$36.99 is all I paid, looks like a sweet unit.

You can find a lot of catch cans on ebay for really good prices....mostly for imports, but should work fine on our cars.

I hear that! I was amazed at how cheap this one was. I saw the AGW online and thought ebay would be the way to go. I just received an email saying it has been shipped. Should be soon, hope it works.

I just recently replaced my PCV valve and installed a compressor water catch from Home Depot. It was a HUSKY
1/4 In. Air Compressor Filter
Model HDA70400AV
that cost about 12 dollars at Home Depot.
I was surprised at the amount of oil I picked up that would have gone into the intake had I not installed it. I got the idea from a bunch of the LS1 people on another board. It is cheap looks good and you can see the amount collected.

Looks very nice. I wonder what's on the inside.
I bought this one a couple weeks ago:
