Winter has hit hard this year in southern Michigan. So I spent yesterday cleaning up all the ground points in the engine bay, but now have a sudden need to maybe install that Oil Catch Can that I've been reading about.

I'm sure there are many good choices, but I was hoping to get some photos of what the mounts look like. I was on EliteEngineering's site and couldn't find any. I would rather have it mounted to the head/valve cover, so it looks like a professional install and can be easily drained/checked.

Thanks in advance,

RPGR90s

I ran a chrome Elite Engineering catch can on my LS1 but removed it after I added the A&A SC. The catch can included a mount that attached directly to the engine block.

Sorry, this is the best picture I have of it. It doesn't show the mount, just the location.

That's beautiful.

Thanks very much!

Are you sure you went to the right site? The pictures on the Elite Engineering site show the bracket clearly on the can, with further detail in the instructions.
