What’s the motorcycle method?IMO breaking in motors motorcycle style reduces the likelihood of oil blowby but a bad rebuilder can still beat you.
idk wfo
I run the UPR catch can and clean side separator on my GT350 and pull out a good amount of oil regularly, especially after track weekends. I'm happy with the quality of the part, ease of install, and ease of draining. Happy to share more details if you have specific questions.
Thx. I was looking into the Ford Perf passenger side, have you compared, or they’re basically the same, doing the simple function?
If the car experiences a lot of lateral G's, it is worth it. I like the FP because it looks like it belongs there. This is after 5 track days and ~5000 miles. I "conditioned" the motor when I left the dealership using the technique from a motorcycle engine builder website listed somewhere on this site.
That's my understanding based on the direction the crank rotates.Done! I suppose passenger side is most critical, driver side optional? Thanks all!

I only see oil in the passenger side. Never any in the driver side.
JDee and CRivolsato are both fast, and that is a good indication for drivers if they need something --- as the quick guys who get into some serious g's! I am an observer and listener and pass on some things I have heard from folks I respect, and that includes the Ford Performance Engineers who have popped up at the Mustang Roundup for the last 11 years ( this will be the 12th ). I asked them when I had my Bosses and my GT 350 if I should get the full system for both sides or just the catch can for the passenger side. Referenced all the comments here and elsewhere about needing just the one, and their response was simple, " Bill, there is a reason why there is a dual set-up, would suggest you go that route." JDee answers with an example and I still think it is a smart choice -- not much more for the two over just the single.
Biggest risk at high g's with stock pan is oil sloshing away from pickup. Loss of pressure for even a second can be catastrophic, at minimum it's going to put a lot of wear on parts. Really should consider a good baffled road race pan. Will give you bonus of more oil capacity.Great sense, Bill, thanks, cheap insurance to get both sides. Another related question to @JDee and @CRisolvato, when I tracked my prev E46 M3 it is advisable to keep oil levels even above full, 1/2 to quart over. With the Coyotes what is the best fill, at full mark? Trying to avoid vaporization, cavitation of course.
The easiest way to tell if you need the driver's side catch can is to take off the breather pipe that connects the valve cover to the intake tube. If it's got oil in it, get a catch can. If it's dry, don't bother. I had the driver's side one on my car and it never collected anything, so I took it off.Great sense, Bill, thanks, cheap insurance to get both sides.
