Catch-Can Install -- Need Tips
I am sure this issue has been on here before, but I don't necessairly need true technical 'how-to' stuff, I am interested in:
"now that I have done it,what would I do different"
In other words the been-there-and-goofed-that-up stuff so history does not have to repeat itself when I install the catch-can I purchased.
It will be going on a '03 QuickSilver 50th C5.
Here is a hint about my personal wrench dexterity:
We all know the old saying about "Murphy's Law", right?
Well I have formed "Daniel's Law" which says Murphy is an optimist.
So all tips and warnings would be greatly appreciated.

I dont recall that.
I looked at several installs, and that's what I came up with.
I wasnt sure if it was working of not, but the last time I changed the oil I chhecked the can, and it was about 1/4 filled @ 2000 miles since installation..

I think you are better off putting the valve between the can and the vacuum source. Right now the can is under full engine vacuum at all times. It may start to draw the oil out of the can and into your intake.
