[QUOTE=2QYK4U,Oct 15 2006, 11:38 AM] I installed my catch can the way most people did in this thread:

Majority opinion indicates that is the way to go.

Well in that case.

#1) Both nipples on the can goto one chamber of the 2 chamber can.

#2) The clear tube is to get a visible reading of your radiator portion of the can. A good eye or level to keep it at is halfway up the clear indicator.

#3) Refer to #2.

I had two different cans and ended up staying with the Js can. Let me know if you have any more questions concerning the can. I had it for 3-4 years.
well the coolant level fluctuates as coolant tempurature rises and falls, that's what it's there for.

The easiest way to determine imo, which is what I did, was fill the reservior to the correct level and transfer the fluid to the J's unit.

It does, your correct but not overnight. It takes a lot of time. I remember checking mine monthly and it barely moved at all. After several months, yeah your right, but not a weekly thing.

BTW did you sell your can?

Well, if your rings are sealing properly then you will fill up the can a lot faster than you can imagine. Rings not sealing = blowby.

If you want to empty the can, the easiest way is to take out the can the flip is around then drain it

Did you mean to say "...if your rings are NOT sealing properly then you will fill up the can a lot faster..."
