Default Re: Almost BG bound-Need help AGAIN
On the crankcase vent, I would suggest using the material Marc H has rather than scotchbrite. I went thru this last year. CC was pressurizing at WOT. I was getting a slight pooling of oil at the cam cover bolt head adjacent to the vent tube boss. Also, oil on oil pan stud at front corner of pan on passenger side.

I don't know about doing that, I used the material from Marc H. As Xfirez51 mentions above, you could cause yourself more problems if the material is too dense. If the old material was re-installed, you should be OK.

Buy small vent filters take hoses off TB and clamp the vent filters in place.

I'm not sure but I think Pete had this product in mind.

I was thinking I might try two of these someday myself, and see what happens.

After further thought....I figure that I was looking at the wrong stuff!

I would buy two of these, take Marc's stuff and use it in place of the filter material that comes with these fuel filters.

Guys!...great ideas,..but..where from the outlet of the cam cover to the airhorn are they going to fit??...I know from experience you cant even put a red/blue fitting on the cam cover outlet because of the clearance.

Purolator has material that designed for this(oil/air breathing),..its just a matter of putting it inline that is clean and unobtrusive...

still working on the pcv/idle issue,..should have that ironed out today,..i am going to design something cool...

AND I got my oil catch can!

With that said,...I am humbled by the knowledge and the sheer willingness to help us in need,..and it really flows both ways,...
