    OK the 6.0 is in...catch can question?

    I got the truck running with the new 6.0 and the 220/220 581/581 115lsa cam.
    Thanks Jamest for the recommendation and Allen for the cam and springs.

    I just went and drove a couple soft miles and the STS valve cover boost block off is blowing oil out the filter cause the switch isn't shuting all the way.

    What is the best way to eliminate this?

    Catch can hooked to both valve covers with a breather, or just 2 breathers on the valve covers(seems like they still might fling a little oil from boost blowby in the crank case.?

    This 6.0 doesn't have a PCV valve anymore because it is an '06, so I think boost is always going into the drivers side valve cover, and like I said above, the STS switch isn't working on the passenger side.

    Thanks, TY

    i'd say get the problem solved first, then decide where u wanna go from there. prob just need two breathers.

    Uh...I might be going out on a limb here, but fix the switch on the STS valve cover boost block off? And the catch can should be fine by hooking into the valve cover breather lines. And why not just have the BOV release into the atmosphere? Does it have to be recirculated into the intake?

    I don't have a BOV yet, but I'm just wondering if I can get rid of the STS boost blocker or does it control something else as well and tohse of you running the STS kit, what do they do about newer trucks with no PCV?
