Default Moroso 85481 Air/Oil Separator "Catch Can"

Got my Moroso catch can in the other day...
Installed and it and its a pretty simple install, everything needed was in the box except teflon tape for the connections and a wire ties for the hoses...

I did not use the recommend bolt hole for the mounting bracket, but instead used the one that was slightly higher holding the wire harness on as it provided more clearance for the power steering fill/ check access...

I also had to clean out the threads of the can prior to installing the fittings as they had cutting debris in them which could cause galling or problems getting the fittings to thread in properly.

I used a plumbers copper pipe cutting tool to complete the cuts in the PCV line to keep them clean, straight and neat.

The instructions say to run hot water over the cut ends of the PCV hoses, I opted to use a small pan of boiling water, swirling about 1.5 inches of the hard plastic PCV hose in the boiling water for a minute or so made it soft enough that the 1/4 hose fitting slid right on and sealed nicely. Do not force it as you will kink and damage the hard tubing, take the time to get soft but not melt it....

I also resleeved the PCV hose with the original rubber insulation that was on the PCV line for a factory look...
