They are not all made out of metal. They also work better without the filter anyway so I would just run without it. Thats what all us Cobra owners do.87stangdiddle said:When you say filter, you mean the metal mesh right? I cant see metal disentegrating just from oil.

Sleeper - as long as the screen is metal, it should help the function of the separator - as the mesh should serve to knock oil out of the vapor stream allowing it to drop into the separator. I use in-line metal screen fuel filters at the inlet of my catch can for the same reason. Seems to be quite effective.
I used it with and without on my Cobra. It seemed to collect more if the filter was out. Do you think I should put a filter back in even though it catches more oil out?Michael Yount said:"They also work better without the filter anyway..."

Its going to collect more oil cuz there is no filter to collect it. so more collects in the inline one instead since theres no filter in the intake04sleeper said:I used it with and without on my Cobra.

vristang said:I do not have a metal filter element in my seperator, and it is holding up fairly well to the Mobil 1 that I am burning almost as a fuel.
I have had serious issues with oil in the intake as many of you guys have, but I do not have any boost to explain this occurrence.
I guess I would like to know what solves the problem.
Rick91-
What vac pump are you running?
You have mentioned it before in other threads, but my memory is shot.
What was the total cost of the setup?
Other than the vac pump, assorted hoses, and a catch can, was anything else needed?
Are you running this on a street car, or race only? I am curious about durability, since mine is daily driven.
Maybe one day the Mustang community can find a good solution to this recurring problem.

You need a pump,brakets,drive mandrel,pullies,belt,lines (-12AN usualy),catch can w/ breather,valve cover fitting,and a regulator.
It cost bout $1000 to set-up with all the Moroso stuff,but I know my unlce made a good on out of a certain Izusu smog pump.
It worked good and was cheap,so next time I see him Ill ask about it.
Yea, i guess so. Dont wanna shovel out the money tho.2000xp8 said:BD puts vacumm pumps on his serious setups, this would probably qualify.
2000xp8 said:Mike, i ran your problem by BD the other day, just for curiosities sake, and he's thinking mostly bad things if you are soaking the towels that bad. (bad things meaning rings)
But, he did ask if you have baffles in the valve covers, and said with your setup, that could be one of the few simple fixes to the problem.
well, that answers that, i scanned quickly through the posts, obviously not hard enough.bluevenom867 said:I asked if he had baffles for my first question,he said yes.....
