Installed Oil Seperator and drove 10 miles (big pic with oil)

[mlambert]

Drove 10 miles after installing to see if it would get any oil dribble. Was full throttle less than 1/2mile outa the 10 and theres already a significant amount of oil.

Truck has 2007 miles on the clock.

why is it that these trucks have so much blow by?is it really nesasary?

 

[ChrisNelson]

That's much more than I ever get. Are some trucks worse than others?

 

[ChrisNelson]

Oh yeah, mlambert your sig is funny as hell! :lol:

 

[Ryan]

Mines been on the truck for 6 weeks and I have less than that...

 

[DX NumNutz]

Thats exactly how much I got after my first run. It has stayed at that level for the last 3000 miles.

looks just like mine, clean it out, 1 day later its back to the same way, never seen it more than that though

 

[Big Man]

Thats how mine is. Pisses me off. :mj: :fm: :cuss:

That's not blow by. What is happening is there is a large volume of air moving through the plenum, and the oil is literally sucked from the valve cover into the plenum through the tube, which some people call the "straw effect".

So if you leave it for weeks it stays the same? That doesn't make much sense..

 

[ron_lightning04]

well accually it does because it doesnt collect that much it is just the fisrt bit lol I DONT KNOW

lates ron,

 

[OH-MAN]

It does collect a bunch at first. Possibly whats in the hoses :shrug:
Mine was the same way. It should slow down a bunch as you drive more.

 

[mlambert]

I guess it could be what was collected in the hose sitting on top of the PCV valve. That's what my friend suggested anyways..

 

[PearlBlue L]

mine doesnt hold any now that the bottle cracked all up from the extreme cold in chicago this last month...

 

[Jesse@MBRP]

Mine had the exact same reaction when i first put it on.

Your friend is correct.

The fit was so tight on all the other joints, the clamps were not needed.

 

[98RICKSTANG]
