This was an insanely long day. I just came up from the garage. W/o Kate here, the only reason I have to come up out of the garage, is to be sure I can make it out of the garage.
In other words,....if nobody stops me, I usually will work till I'm wore out...
and I'm here to tell ya, I'm all kinds of wore out.
Today, I decided on a new plan to control the Monsters blow by. I'm just gonna let him puke. I spent most of the day baffling the inside of a 3" piece of exhaust tubing. 4 discs inside the thing with holes clocked 180* that will force the vapor through and out the top. I'm gonna use the 3"
K&N filter that I had on the engine when the thing was turbo-less to cap it off.
(3) -12 hoses, feed it, with one -12 returning the puked out oil back to the engine. And it is ugly.
If this works, then one day, I'll change out the hose nipples with AN fittings,..but until it does, I'm using junk I got in the drawer.
The down side of all of this experimentin' is that the poor old valve cover is just getting drilled full of holes...I drilled Three more holes into the thing for the vent hoses. I also reinstalled the aluminum discs I made last year when I had that gay-la-fair oil/water seperator rigged up..oil gets past the grommets if I just put oil caps there, the fit is too loose. So that Sht's getting sealed shut...ill have to add oil through one of the smaller 3/8 npt plugs that fit in the center of the discs.
The front hose barely hits the hood...I'm gonna let that be for a minute. If it works, when the scoop comes off for a repaint,..there's gonna be a hole in the hood to let hot air out, and those goofy little 120 * hose ends will be stickin there little heads up into the scoop.
I had to fix a leak at the lower rad hose...it just started dripping all of the sudden..I swapped out a clamp to see if that solves the problem...I'm skeptical.
So,...when I get home tomorrow, I'll return down there to finish up. I'll mount the butt ugly puke tank, fill the rad back up, and start it..if the lower rad hose is done dripping, I may even go out and beat on it a little.
First I gotta make sure the water meth is spraying though...despite the fact that everything was wet under the hood the part that was supposed to be wet..( the inside of that glass top box) wasn't.
