PCV Catch-Can Part 2: The Solution Ingredients: Moroso makes a purpose-built catch-can, but I don't like it because (a) it's plastic, and (b) it has a vent filter built into the top. I want a metal container, so that I know it will stand up to the heat, and so that the sides can stay (relatively) cool, hoping that some of that oil vapour will condense in the can.

Oil catch can Hey just wanted to know what would be a good setup, and where you have it mounted etc. I've got a bit of build up from blow back in my intake system and. Dont know much about this. Just wondering where is the best place to mount the catch can (got a racer x oil catch can) and where the tubes go to. I decided to make my own. The only metal container I could find that has a neck big enough for me to get my hand into is a paint can! Lansing sells empty 1-quart (small) paint cans for just two bucks. It even has a nice polished finish out the outside, and no label -- perfect! Finding bolt-on hose fittings was a real challenge. There are plenty of hose fittings in the air-tools sections of hardware stores, but none of them are big enough (the hose on the PCV valve is 5/8' ID), and they're all meant for joining hoses and air tools; none will bolt to the side of a container (fittings on air tanks are welded on). After spending some time loitering in the plumbing isles, I came up with something that should do the trick (thanks to Rick at the Kennedy/401 Lansing for suggestions). Ingredients:• 1 1-Quart paint can, empty • 2 1/2'-to-1/2' pipe couplings, metal or plastic • 6 feet of 5/8' heater hose • 6 little hose clamps that will fit the 5/8' hose • Gloozit plumber's glue • Teflon tape I found both PVC (poly vinyl chloride a.k.a. Plastic, not to be confused with PCV!) and metal pipe couplings. Although metal would stand up better to the heat and oil, I chose to use the PVC couplings this time, because they have a lip on them around the middle, which will keep them from moving too much. If they become brittle, I'll replace them with the metal ones. Microsoft excel 97 2003 worksheet. When I save my excel files from an older version to Home and Student 2010 it asks me to pick the type of save. So I pick 'Excel Worksheet' or ' Excel 97-2003 Worksheet'?

If all rows in a worksheet contain data, you would have 4,096 CLBs in that worksheet, and you could have only 16 such worksheets in a single instance of Excel (regardless of how many workbooks you.

Oil Catch Can Install HondaTools Required:• permanent marker • drill, with big (up to 1/2-inch) metal drill bit • round rasp (file) • screwdriver, whatever the hose clamps require • hammer • safety glasses • leather gloves Looking at the ingredients, you might wonder how I'm going to make something that will seal well enough that it won't leak oil all over the place. Instructions for Making the Catch-Can Decide where the two hose fittings should be on the can. I thought about putting them both through the lid, but I looked at where I would be installing the can (see below) and decided to put the fittings through the side of the can, for clearance purposes. I don't want the hoses to kink anywhere, there isn't really enough pressure in the PCV circuit to keep things flowing through a kinked hose. Cut a short piece of your 5/8' rubber hose, about 1/2' long. Hold this hose bit against the can where you want to mount one of the fittings. With the permanent marker, trace the inside diameter of the hose onto the can. Repeat for the second fitting. Hint: Look at the length of the fittings and how far they're going to project into the can. Place them accordingly so they won't interfere with each other. You now have two circles drawn on the side of the can. ![]() Put on safety glasses and leather gloves. Drill a hole in the middle of each circle. Your hole will be smaller than the circle. With the rasp, clean up the edges of the holes, and continue to widen each until the hose couplings juuust fit through. Eclipse Oil Catch Can InstallCut a 1' piece of hose, and a longer piece of hose (about 3', look at the inside diameter of the can and eye-ball it, you want it a little less than the can diameter). Push one hose coupling through its hole and halfway into the can. Slip the 3' piece of hose onto the coupling inside the can. Push them together until the hose is tight up against the inside of the can, holding the coupling rigidly in place. Slip a little hose clamp onto the hose and tighten it. Do the same now for the other coupling and the 1' piece of hose, and another clamp. It should look like this: Okay, that's your test-fit. If you like the way everything fits together, then take it apart and do it again, this time squeezing a generous bead of Gloozit around the couplings where they meet the can. According to the label (and, to Rick), this stuff will stick to anything, and will remain pliable when cured so that it won't crack loose with movement or heat expansion. A leak wouldn't be tragic, but it would be messy. The reason for one long hose and one short, is to separate the ends of the two bits of pipe. I don't want gases to go straight in one pipe and out the other, I want them to swirl around the can a bit first, hoping that some of the oil vapour will condense inside. I will use the fitting with the long hose inside as the inlet fitting. The liquid oil will stay in the can in any case, as long as the level of oil in the can doesn't get as high as the output fitting! So that's the can complete.
