CKO Provent 200 Oil Catch Cans

[Will L.]

Yes but it has to have a certain amount of oil above the line fo the proper back pressure- I would expect 1.5-2” is plenty.
If you are not going to just cap the line, I would buy the valve.
I wasn’t aware that outfit was selling the unit without one. CKO, probably shouldn’t be surprised I guess.

I could have put a cut off valve on the end but was afraid of forgetting to drain it since the engine has so much blowby and let it fill up too quick!

When this turbo oil drain kit from QuadStar is back in stock, I buying two:

**2023 UPDATED BILLET ALUMINUM BASE PLATE WITH DRAIN BACK PORT FOR CATCH CAN, BYPASS OIL FILTER OR OIL CENTRIFUGE***

This ^^^ is exactly what I’m looking for. Solves the leak problem and gives me a drain back solution for the ProVent catch can. I already ordered the Mann Hummel valve for this install.

Will the catch can on a 6.5 result in greater crank case pressure and thus more oil leaks?

I saw this on YT. the thing is that if the filter cloggs and there is no bypass valve or the valve is not working properly like in a knock-off one like mine, yes it can result is higher pressure. I don't remember how this guy connected the tubing from the provent, but if you just connect to the intake tubing before the throttle body without a turbo it will also cause increased cc pressure because there is nothing sucking. Without a turbo it has to be connected like a pcv valve and receive vacuum from the intake.

Yeah I figured before the turbo and no EGR on my vehicles eliminates all the internet complaints on the catch can.
