Doing away with pcv ?

[76 Maverick]

Why all the fretting?

There is no power gain from running any sorta evap plumbing, so why not just have it vent to atmosphere and forget about it?

This. Mine is vented to the atmosphere and will be adding a catch can to catch any oil pushed out from boost. You won't have that problem....

There is now a port on the intake tube.

I ran it with the pcv open and the v/c vent open and I had oil blowing out of my dip stick at rpm and oil leaks that were not there before.

A catch can would be a wise investment.

[KBScobravert]

A simple air/oil separator in line would help.

Or you could freshen up that bottom end.

Are you running boost or just the power pipe? I was under the impression you had a SC or turbo.

[jyro]

hose too small, make it the same size as coming out the fill neck, and if you pump oil into the intake air, plan on detonation, oil decreases the octane of the gasoline.

No just n/a for now

It's about the same size as stock, that factory one slid into the grommet aswell. It's 5/16, should I go 3/8s anyways?

Would a inline air/oil separator for air compressor tools work?

[orphan Shelby]

Water\air separator inline would be good addition.

[91CoupeMike]

Like this?

[91CoupeMike]

Or would that not work? I need something small.

[90GT50]

Something like that or a catch can.

I run two of these on the neon because I'm paranoid.



There are two ports, it has baffles and mesh on the inside to help accumulate oil. I have one from my pcv to my intake manifold with a check valve, and one on my valve cover going to my air intake.

[jyro]

you don't want any back pressure, those separators are for compressed air. You should have as near zero pressure as you can get. the bigger the hose the better it is.

"It's about the same size as stock, that factory one slid into the grommet aswell. It's 5/16, should I go 3/8s anyways?"

the factory pcv hose had vacuum on it, that's why it was smaller. with your setup, if you have any blowby, that hose won't do much.

Stock valve covers but I had to remove the baffle to clear my rocker arm studs.

I did the same with my stock valve covers. The stock baffle hit the studs.

I quickly fabbed up a new baffle out of a beer can in about 15 minutes that cleared the rockers and did a fine job of blocking the oil from the tube. The view down the oil filler neck was pretty cool as well when you saw "coors" down there

IMO you want the PVC on a street driven car to keep oil leaks to a minimum.

[91CoupeMike]

Just got done doing a heli coil on a valve cover bolt and noticed I didn't have any oil in the intake tube or t/b running it as is.

Should I leave it?

I even swiped my finger and it as dry.
