Ford Performance Catch Can

[nikhsub1]

So I have been a catch can hater my whole life. I always said that if they were needed, the manufacturer would supply them. Well, Ford Performance has one, so it is going on muh truck https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6766-35T

I just installed it and I have some commentary. It could NOT be simpler to install. 2 bolts (more on that in a minute), remove the passenger side tube from the valve cover to the intake manifold. Install bracket, slip catch can on the bracket forks, install the supplied tubes from valve cover to intake manifold with the catch can in between. So, there was an issue. It says to remove the very front valve cover bolt. I tried to do that - it will not come out. It is secured into the valve cover and there is nofuckingwayinhell I'm removing the entire valve cover for this. Solution? Cut the bracket and only use one mounting point. It's secure and does not move, heck the hoses that go to the can are so stiff that you don't even need a bracket. Anyway, not sure if all trucks bolts are this way, but I thought for a minute and decided to dremel that ******. Otherwise, super easy install. The only tool you need is a 10mm socket.

Below is the cut bracket - the piece I cut off is like a fork.

So you can't get that bolt out either? I thought maybe I have a freak truck...

I have not ordered yet, perhaps just from heat cycling its a little tight?

No the bolt comes all the way loose, it just won't remove from the cover.

I wish I would have know about this setup before I bought my Radium catch can. Don’t get me wrong. The radium setup is a quality setup. I just like the oem+ look of the ford performance catch cans.

Here are the instructions to install in detail

Yes, the problem I had was this part: "On passenger side of engine,remove cam cover bolt and replace with cam cover stud bolt provided.Torque to 10nm (88 lbin)". Like I said I could loosen that bolt all the way until it spins freely, but it will not come out. @FordTechOne any insight to that?

Wow, i've had these for my GT350 and prior GT for a long time. Was always bummed they never made anything for the Raptor. When did this come out?
