No. The driver's side catch can is a waste of money for anything but all out racing. If a car gets oil in the driver's side CC, you have a serious engine problem caused by massive blow by. The few people I know with driver's side cans have never seen anything in them, which is good.I see that passenger CCs are filling, but is the driver can needed as well?
^Ditto. I tried to make it picture-perfect against the Ford instructions, but that hose was not having it. Just put my passenger side on last night.Hate to be an old thread bumper but just wanted to give input on installing the FP passenger side oil separator. Piece of cake to install and definitely recommend flipping the flexible hose so that the 90* flexible side is connected to the separator and the 45* hard side is connected to the motor. Took the car for a short 6-7 mile drive prior to flipping the hose and decided to peek in it afterwards and there was already a sheen of oil in the line.
Just blow the screen off with compressed air or wash it with some warm water and try it.I was cleaning my passenger side FP air-oil separator and (not thinking) pried off the mesh screen/filter on the top (intake) side of the can to sop up the oil on the screen and clean the film off of the inside of the top. After doing so I realized that I could have contaminated that area with small specs of sand, fibers from the shop towel, etc. and it would have been sucked straight into the manifold. Should I be concerned about any damage to the motor? Anyone else make the same mistake? Or am I just being paranoid?
I don't have an air compressor so I just blew it out as best I could and wiped it as thoroughly as possible. I'm more concerned about things that I couldn't/didn't see. As far as I know, the shop towel was clean. Just wondering if (worse case scenario) some sand, fibers, etc. that I didn't see got through, would that cause any harm to the motor?Just blow the screen off with compressed air or wash it with some warm water and try it.
Why did you have sand on your shop towel?
If you can't see it then you likely have 0 to worry about.I don't have an air compressor so I just blew it out as best I could and wiped it as thoroughly as possible.

That was my assumption but was still paranoid. Thanks!If you can't see it then you likely have 0 to worry about.
