blow by/suck by

[tag4car]

I want to be able to have all air going in the engine clean and free of all oil from the valvecover breather lines. i got a little air filter from home depot and plumbed it into the line going into the back of the intake plenum, now i'm starting to believe i just hooked into the trans vacuum line. i tryed with a larger 54cfm filter and some heatercore hose and made what i thought was a good system filtering the lines from the valve area but when i started up i got a whistling almost beltchirp like squeal from the area under/behind the alternator. back to normal config. i have no problems. any help, tips, info is appreciated

What you really need is a catch can. The little air filters from home depot fill up quickly and then lose effect. Also, when the filter gets saturated they restrict airflow.

There is really no need to prevent oil from blowing through the PCV but if you are really worried about it a catch can is the way to go.

I will try to find you some links...

No probs yet. Empty it once every week or 2.

That is a nice looking setup! A lot of hose, but effective nonetheless!

I think I might do this also. There was alot of oil buildup in my plenum when I took it off to clean it. I also want to see if there is where my oil is disappearing to.

Yeah, I made my own too. Works pretty well.

See the oil in the bottom?
