Installed my homemade catch can, this morning. Looking forward to checking it in a few weeks.

BTW, When I pulled my PCV valve, I noticed the grommet was torn. Gotta pick up a replacement @ O'Reilly's. Be sure to check yours, on older vehicles.

Finally, got around to replacing the PCV valve grommet. It was torn about 3/4 of the way around. So, I'm sure there was a pretty good vacuum leak. I'm hoping this was the cause of the P0171 and P0174 DTC's I was getting when the weather would cool off. Cleared the codes, and will cross fingers they don't return. (I don't feel like shelling out for O2 sensors.

I couldn't resist the temptation to check the contents of my Catch Can.

OMG, if this what the catch can prevents from being directed into the intake manifold, and subsequently the cylinders, I'm so glad I made and installed mine. This stuff looks a lot like baby $h!t, and about the same consistency. (Dads, you know what I'm talking about.)

That's just condensation in your oil from taking a lot of small trips around town and stuff
