FITMENT
- 2006–2007 5.9L Dodge Ram Cummins 2500 3500 Turbo Diesel.
- 2007.5–2024 6.7L Ram Cummins 2500 3500 Turbo Diesel.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- High crankcase pressure and oil mist blow-by are common concerns for 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins diesel owners. Over time, factory valve covers can experience heat-cycle stress, aging, and sealing issues while the CCV system continues to circulate oil vapor through the intake tract.
- Oil mist buildup inside intercooler pipes, intake components, and airflow passages can contribute to sludge accumulation and reduced airflow efficiency over time.
- The Billet Valve Cover & Oil Catch Can System replaces the factory cover with a CNC-machined aluminum valve cover while adding a 300mL baffled catch can to separate and collect oil vapor before it reaches the intake system.
Key Features
- CNC 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: Engineered to replace weak OEM plastic valve covers, eliminating leaks, warping, and stripped bolt holes.
- Dual-Stage Oil Separation: Features an integrated internal baffle inside the cover and an external T6061 dual-chamber catch can to trap oil particles and moisture before venting.
- Easy Oil Maintenance: The catch can features a built-in dipstick for instant level checks and a removable bottom reservoir for quick draining.
- Complete Blow-By Management System: Provides an upgraded crankcase ventilation solution by combining billet valve cover durability with efficient oil vapor separation.
- High-End Engine Bay Aesthetics: Delivers a clean, polished appearance with an upgraded billet oil fill cap and anodized finish.
FAQ
Q: What does the Billet Valve Cover & Oil Catch Can System do?
A: This system improves crankcase ventilation management by replacing the factory valve cover with a CNC-machined billet aluminum cover and adding an external catch can to separate oil mist and moisture from blow-by vapors.
Q: How does the integrated CCV baffle system work?
A: The integrated CCV baffle slows and redirects crankcase vapors, allowing oil particles and moisture to separate before exiting the valve cover. This helps reduce oil contamination in the intake tract.
Q: Why is having both the valve cover and catch can better than just the valve cover?
A: While the valve cover has internal baffles to catch heavy oil drops, high-boost Cummins engines produce fine airborne oil mist. The external catch can acts as a secondary filter, catching microscopic mist before it reaches your intake manifold or vents into the engine bay.
Q: How often should I drain the catch can?
A: Drain intervals depend on engine condition, mileage, driving habits, and usage. As a guideline, inspect the catch can every 1,000–3,000 miles and drain as needed. Heavy towing or modified trucks may require more frequent checks.
