Anyone have a oil catch can installed on there bike? Since the R18 is "manifold injected" and from what I have read these 1800s are basically
a GDI(Gasoline Direct Injection) engine.Which means no wet fuel (to clean off the valves)comes in contact with the valves only oil blow by.So the valves will need to be professionally cleaned from time to time.Otherwise,the valves will get a build up of burned,caked on oil.The Chevy LT1 is direct injection and I installed a ADD W1 catch can.There are smaller ones on Amazon.Though I have not researched it as I am out riding,LOL!
Lastly,I posted this after reading the canister delete post on the forum.This got me thinking about the injection system.
