The SECRET to a Healthy LS Engine! (LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7 Etc.) 

Purchase a k&n air filter cleaner at any auto parts store.. did you use carb cleaner to clean your throttle body?

I used MAF/Throttlw Body cleaner. I wouldn't use carb cleaner on it.

@@Greenlightfilming 10-4 thanks

@@Greenlightfilming well dude.. we have a major snow storm coming into my neck of the woods. Winter storm Gail is going to drop 18-24" of snow on us starting Wednesday morning all the way into Thursday night.. ugh.. or should I say it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Sweet, great timing there! I'd really like to install one on my TA. They are a great kit.

They are a great bang for the buck. Look for a Z51 car if you are shopping for a coupe. Otherwise the z06 is the way to go.

Keep telling me about the weather down there and I'll move sooner or later lol. This can is a real nice part, and it's probably great insurance on any engine. Keeping that sludge out of your intake and intake ports cant hurt lol.

I'm sure you'll like it if they F-Body kit is as nice as the Vette kit. I'll probably pick one up for mine too.

Thanks bud. Mighty Mouse did all of the real work making the kit itself.

Thanks! Appreciate the support 👍👍

I'd love to own another late model mustang. We had an s550 ecoboost and it was a ton of fun

Agreed! That was my first thought after seeing the intake manifold. Seems like it should be the first mod to any car now.

So you can purchase a catch can for the LT1?

@@Greenlightfilming hopefully you don't have salt on your Z06 from the road conditions???

@@keilylmm6377 Yes, they are for sale on their website. I believe they offer them for LT1 and LT4 cars.

@@keilylmm6377 No salt until today luckily. It's been a weird year for weather here.

You would be correct if this catch can didn't have a check valve that closes under vacuum.

Lol I hear that!!!

No issues with vacuum on these systems. They have a check valve in the canister. 🍻

They are both great cars. I've also had a C6 Z51 car. Lots of fun.

This car did not have radiator fluid running through it. I don't think the C6's did in general. My Trans Am did, LT1 F-Bodies did, as well as all of the TPI third gens. Not sure what else did, but the common practice is to delete it with a "TB Coolant Bypass".

😆😆

I'm glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

I'll have to wash it out then. I figured it was a reusable filter. Dont have any of the oil product

Also, it is about time someone uses REAL MUSIC during the video. Love your taste in tunes, I'm sick in tired of overused EDM BS, LOL!

Full disclosure - the EDM stuff is used for a reason. Way easier to find copywrite free music. Everything else is a total crapshoot lol. They'll mute your video, or you cant monetize it.... I might change the seats out. I really liked the evo seats in the white c6, but the girlfriend didn't lol. Theres definitely a trade off in comfort. The factory seats are pretty nice but lack the bucket feel that the corbeaus have.

Good deal. The catch can is key on any car.

As far as Fbodies go, I've only had the one that's on my TA. Theres an oil level sight glass and overall it seems sort of cheap. Dont quote me but I believe it's a Speed Engineering one. Looks like Mighty Mouse makes the same kit for the F-Body, so I'll probably go that route. Elite engineering is another good catch can mfg. Not sure if they offer a kit for the f-body but it's worth a look if you dont care for the open filter look.

Go Mighty Mouse. Definitely the best setup. They will also help you with any questions or alternate setup if you’re not stock.

Negative, I have not done one on the Trans Am. I'll probably pick another one up when they have a deal on them again. It's a well made kit, and I'd be happy to run one on everything.

@@Greenlightfilming okay youbro thank you. Stay safe. Say no to drugs

Link to installation document/routing diagram. It'll make sense when you look at this. *edit - this is where Mighty Mouse hosts it*. docs.google.com/document/d/1cnYdU205X3Mlk0veJM8VZaurWVqBRNGaY4ZzR1L0OOk/edit

Sweet, a Tech member speaks. I still like reading photo threads, so I keep adding all of this stuff there too. I figure other people are the same way lol. I'd definitely recommend one on your car, especially being modified. Tuning an engine is great and all but I feel that oil consumption is a variable that you can eliminate for the most part with one of these. In theory it'll make the car more reliable?

@@Greenlightfilming I’m going to add it to my Christmas list 😂 I also just watched and read your rear end install on the WS6 which is going to be extremely helpful in the near future. I plan on upgrading my rear to fingers crossed a MWC fab. I’ve had my car for 20 years and no plans to get rid of it. So the goal is to try and do it right..once. 😎 Now I just have to convince my wife lol.

Haha good luck with the last part! It's like her convincing you that she needs more clothes lol. You'll do fine with the rear end swap, in all reality it's pretty easy. You'll have a great setup with the MWC stuff. Hope you keep yours for a long time too!

The catch can cuts down on oil consumption? How much was oil consumption before and after? What oil do you like. I like Mobil 1 but I'm thinking of switching to Amsoil 100% synthetic. I run 5w30. Do you think 5w30 is best? What about 5w20, or the 0w40 Mobil 1 used in the C8? Thanks.

Yes, there is a benefit to be had on the entire LS family of engines. They all have closed PCV systems like the Corvette does in the video. It's cheap insurance, and I plan on doing it to my WS6 sometime here.

@@Greenlightfilming awesome! Thank you, this will definitely be the next item i get

@@michaelsassman9883 Sweet. Hope it keeps your engine running cleaner. I know it's going to help my Z06!

It's a chore, that's for sure. Looks great but it's high maintenance.

Negative. I'm hoping to pick one up for the car sometime soon here.

I have not had to personally replace those things, no.

No Optispark on LS engines. Those finiky parts were on LT1 engines. If water got on them it would cause issues so GM installed them under the water pump.......just because.

The car came with the heads already fixed. It's a problem on the Z06's for sure. If I recall it's more prevalent on the 2007-2008 model years?... Check on the Corvette Forums for better information. It's all on there.

We must all have the same defect

How much oil does your Vette use? I'm running Mobile 1 5w30 synthetic. I think it's using more oil than it should. I don't know how much exactly. I check it and add oil. Just seems like it's using more than it should. Have you had similar issues?

Just uploaded one. Ask and you shall receive!

Yes, I would recommend them on any LS engine.

On the corvette? Longtubes into the factory NPP exhaust.

@@Greenlightfilming x pipe or straight

I'm thinking about getting one. The catch can that's on it seems cheap.

No, it's not. The artist has been credited as they should in the description. Thanks.

@@Greenlightfilming HI yes, I checked in your description, it is Coded. I don't have a problem with the use just acknowledging that it's my song.

How would you be able to replace the entire PCV line set, buy a can and fittings for less than this setup?

Go to their website and select whichever can you'd like from their F-Body menu.

Never to late. The best time to put one on is when the car is new. The next best time is now.

I don't have one of those lol

@@Greenlightfilming I know but damn they hauled ass

Check the video description

I had to check with Mighty Mouse about the filter, as you weren't the first person to ask about this. You are correct that it's a closed system, and the open filter would be a leak in the system. They actually have an integrated check valve in the can that takes all of that into account. I had been getting the emails but I figured you cc'd me on them by mistake as they appeared to be going to other people lol.

@@Greenlightfilming I guess, why would the add the cost of this filter, hole, threads and check valve if not a design sold for turbo's, supercharger that would increase crankcase pressure. Seams as a terrible waist unless it just look good. It just serves no function in a closed system? Certified Automotive ASE Master tech since 1978.

@@deankay4434 would a regular turbo style catch can work better?

@@damnitdang (Cool name dude) I am not a catch can expert, but I do understand engines. Running a power adder such as a turbo changes things, depending on max boost, normal intentional use and current condition of your engine. A turbo greatly increases volumetric efficiency by shoving air into the engine. This if used on an engine with ring gaps wider than spec, somewhat new and used several times each week to make the guy in his 14 year old Mustang change his under-britches after he stops crying, no problem. Let us built an oil catch can system together and you can easily compare notes to watch you have! Cool... The preferred set up is to pull crankcase fumes from the center or valley of the engine if possible. Other wise, get where it is easy. I like easy! If you have a oil catch can with a top filter, use it. Run the hoses normally. (Can Placement) Put the oil catch can away from the radiator, engine block and especially exhaust. These cans are aluminum and gain heat and hold it. Place the can (If able) behind a headlamp will get mostly all outside air to cool the can. (Ideal place is touching the aluminum A/C accumulator if there is room) If able, after mounting or fabricating a better bracket, zip tie the can so it touches the accumulator. Many don't use them but I don't know what you have as newer cars & trucks place an insulation Shield around them. If you have one with room, cut a 1.5 inch slice out of it as round on round don't fit well, but just touching it with a slight amount of insulation gone (Save it, if selling 5-9 years, black weather stripe adhesive will look new) The turbo my friend, at conditions of high boost will or May over-come the oil catch can with volumes of normal blow by and now exit the top filter. That is the only reason to have this filter unless you have over 500 cu in under the hood. I truly hopes this helps you, and brings you an understanding that leads to success. (Note; Intake valves for years got so caked with carbon, they absorb fuel. This cause hard cold starts as the carbon act like a sponge holding fuel, robbing the cylinder so lean it wouldn't fire or stay running cold. Damn I am old!)

@@deankay4434 I have acouole builds I'm doing. A new 22rte being built and will use a catch can. And a 2jz imm do the same. Watching your vids whole I'm researching ls swaps. I wanna do one on it also lol

There's an internal check valve. It's not wide open as it would appear.

@@Greenlightfilming until that valve fails and you don't know it chasing a lean issue.

@@mgrotel any part can fail on any vehicle. Never had a problem with these, nor heard of one failing.

@Greenlightfilming exactly, so why add more parts that can fail? Why complicate it? Plus I would guess it's open sometimes when it shouldn't be.

@mgrotel well, lucky for you, it's something you'll never have to worry about. Thank you

These are illegal in CA?

@@Greenlightfilming yup I tried to order one for my c6 and they said that it was illegal in ca and that they could not send it to me
