hey ...started a new thread to get your attention

about that pvc valve in your nos thread... 03lightning setup a filter on the passenger side and one on the drivers side. the filter on the passenger side collected TONS of oil. driver side none. checked his t/b today and only found a small amount of residue ... probably there before he put it on. new truck with only about 4,500 miles on it. i have the same setup on mine...haven't checked my t/b yet... need to check it past the t/b there too. ofcourse mines filling up too. probably have to empty it in another 3,000 - 5,000 miles.he should post some pics.

 

Yes Nate that would prove my new theroy.

It does appear that the oil is in fact coming up the Manifold and through the back of the T/B into the boot.

Here look at how much oil was in the Manifold and REAR of T/B

Here's my old T/B


And here's my new T/B with maybe two months of winter driving



There is clearly more oil behind it, than in front.
This is why they guy the other day is getting oil in his Air Filter, because he disconnected the tube going from the intake to drivers side valve cover, so now it can't get sucked BACK INTO the Drivers side we always thought it was coming up the tube, it's not, it's going down So by putting a Oil Seperator on, it would in fact help the oil in the Throttle Body, which I use to think had nothing to do with it.

If I release the Crankcase pressure with a breather, the Throttle Body Oil should go away too, I'm gonna give it a try and see.
Remember I have that check valve set up so it can't take in un-metered air, since I already have it, it's worth a try.

What Do you think ?

 

give it a shot. talked to the guy that makes those pvc kits and said that your not suppose to use a breather and doesn't recommend it due to unmetered air entering. I wouldn't do it myself. Me or 03lightning really needs to post some pics of the seperator.

edit: oops...just re-read your post. I'm confused. What check valve? i think i know what your talking about. to use with the breather? give it a shot

 

Nate,

Ya I use a checkvalve on mine so
it can release Crankcase pressure,
BUT IT CAN NOT TAKE IN UN-METERED AIR



I was never big on the looks of it, but I guess if it works,
I can put up with it
