Radium General Motors Baffled VTE Kit Oil Cap

20-0587

20-0587 BAFFLED OIL CAP VTE KIT, GM
Crankcase blow-by quickly escalates during aggressive driving. Excess oil saturated air circulating back into the air intake stream can degrade performance. Filtering these crankcase vapors out of the intake will effectively increase the octane of the burned gases. 

This system features a VTE (vent to engine) anodized aluminum replacement billet oil cap. It has an integrated air/oil separator that accelerates oil condensation through a reusable stainless steel baffle. Furthermore, a new O-ring sealed PCV valve is introduced to positive crankcase ventilation system that prevents pressurize intake pressure from entering the crankcase. 

Confirmed Engine Compatibility:
LS1, LS2, LS3, LS4, LS6, LS7, LS9, LSA, L76, L99, L9H, LT1, LT2, LT4
NOTE: there are other compatible engines not listed.

WHY DO I NEED THIS?

For Gen IV LS engines (2005+), this kit reintroduces a true PCV system. Because the Gen IV engines do not use a PCV valve from the factory, they do not promote negative crankcase pressure when the throttle body is fully opened. Furthermore, the crankcase may pressurize if the engine is supercharged or turbocharged which can lead to engine sealing issues. This kit adds a billet O-ring sealed PCV valve which restores crankcase vacuum in all scenarios and only allows metered air into the intake. The baffled oil cap also adds additional air/oil separating filtration to the crankcase that is service free.

Although optimized for Gen IV LS engines, this kit still works on Gen III LS engines (97-04). It replaces a potentially old brittle PCV valve with a new billet O-ring sealed PCV valve. It also adds additional air/oil separating filtration to the crankcase that is service free.
