Bucking engine

This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

Wow.
It seems you follow the maintenance thing to a "T". And seems you take your car only to a dealership to have it worked on.
Well since you have the shop clean out your "stock" catch can for $64, take that money you would normally spend and get a catch can with a checkvalve and empty it out yourself. Save some m00lah!

Well, my original idea was to keep that hose cleaned out so that Chrysler wouldn't give me any static if the intercooler or manifold have issues since I have gone overboard with maintenance and have the dealership records to prove it. It just takes me awhile to get around to things and I really need to read up on catch cans and how to look after them before I take the plunge.

BTW, I called my service writer to schedule the 36K appointment on Monday and he asked if I would be bringing my own oil! I have been going to this dealership for more than a decade and this is the first I have heard of this being an option. I can only imagine the money I could have been saving all of this time... :banghead:

Yep, 4306's are around $10 for all 4 and new plugs are always good. I can't believe some people change them once a year or so...insane

Gramps, I called bwoody tonight and had him start working on my catch can. I have the homebrew catch can and it failed so I went the bwoody route. I live 20 minutes from there shop so when I go pick it up tommorow afternoon I will post some pics that are better than there site so you have an idea of what kind of quality you can expect. The Greddy is kinda overpriced anyways and ive heard alot of good things about bwoodys stuff.
