I am confused on this engine is there an oil air seperator on the crank case to PCR vent on this engine?

Otherwise I dont see any catch can kits for this engine.

Has anyone researched this? Does this engine have basically a. Built in catch can?

Yes it does, the air/oil separator sits in the valley of the engine. Oil that drops out just drains back into the engine. Probably works just as good as an aftermarket catch can, if not better due to it's prime location (water shouldn't condense there which creates other issues with catch cans).

What is the difference between an Air-Oil Separator and a Catch Can? - YouTube

For gassers, but it shows the difference between a catch can and an air-oil separator like these have. Also important to note that these also have a crankcase ventilation heater that is located on the hose between the crankcase ventilation sensor, and the air inlet. This is there to heat any oil that is introduced to the charge air cooler and prevent it from sludging. As such aftermarket catch cans don't serve a purpose on this engine, as the stock setup is already an improvement to this.

LOL I was ahead of my time back the 1900's installing PCV catch cans on my old Chevys! It is surprising how much oily water accumulates.

Yeah I used to have one on my old 5.0, it condensed so much water that it was more dangerous than good. It really needs to be located in a hot spot where it can just condense the oil and let the water go through. I learned that the hard way haha. Hopefully this system performs well, so far I haven't seen any issues.
