    Does such a valve cover exist?!?!?!?!

    I'm working on a solution to the age old "oil in the intake manifold" and I had an idea of installing "extra" pcv valves in the valve covers, T them together, and run that T to the upper intake opposite where the factory pcv hose mounts, all while leaving the factory setup in place. HOWEVER...

    Putting a Stop to Oil Consumption through the PCV Valve

    Do you know if those valve covers would work on a stock intake with a 3/8" spacer? What about this - run valve covers that have grommets in both, install pcv valves in both, T them together, then run a line from the T, to the upper intake manifold on the opposite side of where the factory pcv...

    Putting a Stop to Oil Consumption through the PCV Valve

    A PCV revelation.....LONG I just had a revelation. When we installed my FMS roller rockers underneath my stock 5.0 EFI valve covers we needed to raise the baffle so it wouldn't hit. We did this by grinding some of the material from the baffle's mounting point, and then re-installed the...

    Putting a Stop to Oil Consumption through the PCV Valve

    Would it be possible to drill a hole near the front of a stock 5.0L EFI valve cover (driver's side) and install a grommet with a stock pcv valve, and run a hose from it to the upper intake manifold (along with the one that is already in the lower intake manifold)? Would this grommet/pcv valve...

    Ford Racing Cobra intake!!!!

    I have the SAME oil consumption problem. I tried the Home Depot oil separator too and it does catch oil. I was told that if you are pushing oil through the pcv valve it is because you have excessive blow-by. I did a leakdown test of my engine and the cylinders ranged from 5%-9% which...

    Starting fresh....help me spend some $$$$

    Need P/S Installation Pics

    It really wasn't hard at all. Hardest part was getting the steering shaft to pop loose from the rack, but even that wasn't too bad.

    Need P/S Installation Pics

    Your setup looks a little different than mine, I guess because my car has a/c. I was looking for a pic that shows how the pressure line runs from the pump through the bracket and down to the rack, but I think I have it now. It looks like it should run from up top down through the bracket and...

    Need P/S Installation Pics

    Hey guys. I just replaced my p/s pump, rack & pinion, and hoses. I'm trying to run the hoses and can't remember how they get routed. I believe they all stay above the sway bar, but how does the pressure line run? I can't figure out how to mount the bracket or how to route the hose. Please...

    Any thoughts on these new firewall adjusters?

    I've noticed that these seem to be the new thing. Do they actually work better than the old type that you lock in with the allen screw, or is it just a gimmick? UPR Quick Click Extreme Firewall Adjuster Fiore Micro-Click Adjuster
