[QUOTE="jd93gt, post: 3326582, member: 8372"] Taz is right... Think about it Red, if air/oil mixture is coming out of the driver's side valve cover through PCV valve and into the intake manifold to be burned off in the combustion chamber, then it has to get into the crankcase somehow. That tube that runs from the intake to the passenger side valve cover is how it gets in. When air leaves the crankcase, you have to have air come in to replace it, otherwise you have a vacuum in the engine and that will pull oil up into places it isnt supposed to be. You have 2 choices... replace the stock tube on the intake, it wont hurt anything, air is just getting into the crankcase, no oil is coming from this side. Or you can install a breather filter, while it looks good, it doesnt help the situation. Because before with the tube, it was metered air getting into the crankcase, with a breather filter it's unmetered air, unaccounted for by the computer. ' Also what kind of oil/air seperator are you using. It has to have significant volume in the catch area otherwise it's useless. If you're using one of the small inline air compressor filters, this wont work, as there's not enough volume to catch the amount of oil in the air... this is why alot of guys use "catch cans"... hold alot more....
