Overall this filter is a good idea if you remember to service it regulaly. I used to think all the black coating in the intakes was from EGR, but now I see that at least some of it is from PCV. |

LT, here are the pics u requested;
as u can see, i left some slack in the hose that is between the a/c accumulator and the pcv. the pcv sits perfictly flat in the hole. and here is the shot of the hose at the throttle bracket. i could not remove the stock hose so i used a 3/8 hose coupler to join the old with the new and put a clamp on there to be safe, but i may remove the clamp later.

Gasoline from a leaking CPI can reach the crankcase, but it does so through leaky gaskets, or by leaking into the combustion chambers and then leaks past the piston rings to reach the crankcase. |

That is why when the nut kit ruptures you always see a #3 misfire and #3 plug being completely carboned up.

And yes, you can take it off. Remove it when you engine is warm and you will see that you can easily pull it right off. It is just a rubber connector up there onto the hose nipple.

When you have properly removed it, you will be attaching the new hose directly onto a metal hose connection.

If the leaking fuel reaches the #3 plug as you say, then it is not reaching the crankcase. It is leaking into the #3 combustion chamber, (top of the #3 piston). So your example is additional proof that what I posted is correct. There are no hole between plenum and crankcase. |

It will drain into the two middle cylinders and into the crankcase.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: PCV Oil Catch Can, see what your engine is burning!
installed my oil catch can tonite. ten minutes tops.
Got a Campbell-Hausfeld filter from WalMart for $11.97. the two fittings for $1.94. The hose was $1.18 at Advance Auto. I bought 3 ft. I got a 1997 and so the PCV is about 3 inches from the intake connection. I routed mine up from the valve cover, around the master cylinder, back towards the brake booster, and back over to the intake. Didn't even need any cable ties to secure (although I'll keep an eye on it). The filter sits close around the brake booster. Plenty of clearance around hot rad hoses. First start up, idle was spot-on (left the filter in). I like to think my engine is pretty clean so it will be interesting to see how much oil accumulates in how much time ... Quote:

Good Gawd! after only 11 miles !!
Well, installed the oil-catch last nite. I only drove 11 miles today!! Lookie how much I caught!
Hey BlazerLT, does your oil-catch have a purge at the bottom "nipple" of the cup? Mine does. Anyhow, here are pics ... I know you guys out there wish your girlfriend was as dirty as my engine compartment !! 1) routed around the master cylinder and up by the brake booster http://photobucket.com/albums/b390/d...t=P1010055.jpg 2) front end drivers-side view ... http://photobucket.com/albums/b390/d...t=P1010057.jpg 3) this much after only 11 miles !! http://photobucket.com/albums/b390/d...t=P1010058.jpg still haven't found a need to cable-tie anything down. I'll keep an eye on it ... Quote:

Re: PCV Oil Catch Can, see what your engine is burning!
Yes, there is a purge but you can't use it.
You will have to unscrew it and dump it out like I did every time it gets reasonably full.
