Default Oil Can

Installed oil can on my 99 today. Easy install and I hope it cures my oil problem in the intake.

Looks like it mounts to the front of the RH head ... there are some threaded holes already in the head.

The oil catch can comes with the bracket and bolt. The bolt screws in to an exsiting bolt hole on the head. Installed very easy with no problems.

You can also use stud(s) and nut(s) which makes R&R of the can very easy and fast w/o fear of stripping out the threads.

Would this part be a good thing to add to a stock C5? Would I benefit from installing it?

You don't feel like reading all them pages, huh? So you just want someone to tell you what to do instead of educating yourself? The beauty of this forum is that soo many guys take the time to document their success, struggles, and failures, so other can capitalize on their experience or prevent mistakes. I suppose if you don't want to read, then you probably won't be interested in contributing either.

I have contributed heavily in the car forums I belong too. I just bought this car 2 days ago and I am learning, so a simple yes or no with a reason why would help educate me.
