View Full Version : Valve Cover Details...

I was just wondering about this little T on my valve cover(S13 blacktop). There is a tube from my intake to the T to my catch can...then I would think that little hose under the catch can goes to the oil pan or somthing.

The reason I bring this up is to ask what should I do if I can't fit my catch can there anymore? I just installed a new exhaust manifold and I can't fit my catch can there anymore. I've seen some people put little filters on the T...but I wanted to make sure. Should I just plug up the hose that used to go to the bottom of the catch can?

And should I just take off the tube from my intake to the T and plug that up, leaving the T open?

On a side note- Is it okay for my valve cover to leak oil kinda a lot around the head? I think it's probably just the valve cover gasket...but to double check I ask Zilvia :).

Any help would be appreciated...I wanna make sure my car is safe to drive without oil shooting everywhere.:hyper:

for now, run the front of the tee to the intake, and the back of the tee to the return tube on the engine *where your stock catch can was at*

get a aftermarket can and run the lines properly, problem solved :)
