Catch Can Worth It?

[aborchard76]

Hello All,

I’m interested in understanding whether there’s any benefit to installing a PCV catch can without simultaneously addressing the EGR system. From what I’ve learned, the EGR system can also contribute to intake valve deposits over time, potentially causing similar issues.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. If there’s an existing discussion or resource on this topic, please point me in that direction.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! There’s definitely a benefit to installing a catch can, the EGR system really isn’t the main contributor to deposits, and it isn’t a problem so long you’re keeping up on normal mantnance and using Top Tier fuel.

Based on the junk I dump out of my catch can, for me, yes it is worth it.
