krankvents

a friend gave these to me today, they are called krankvents. these are the best damned pcv system check valves i have ever seen. we took my truck for a quick test drive and came back and a few minutes later we took off my oil cap and heard a insane amount of suction. good for the rings and hopefully good for the oil sucking problem. time will tell, but my bud said that they are dyno proven to help increase hp.






they are the little billet looking cylinders, im am very pleased with these. tell me what yall think.

Simple Green. I swear by it.

Easiest thing to make the engine bay clean. On a cool engine, spray it on liberally, let sit for a few minutes, then hose off.

I use a leaf blower afterwards to make sure it's all dry.

Do you have part numbers?? How do they install (splice in to the hose)??
Checked their site, they are not cheap. I want some, but need the PN or type/model etc.

Thanks!!

my friend gave me his old kit from a starion, he used the universal kit. i just went to autozone and bought some hoses to splice it in. so far so good, the vacuum these things pull is incredible. they were originally designed for turbo cars to keep from pushing boost into the crankcase. and they hold tons of pressure. pretty nifty imo

Question

I am pretty good at asking "dumb" questions... so here goes... Its bad for lots of added or positve pressure in our crankcases right.. why isn't it just as bad if there are to much " Negitive" pressures... otherwise i would also be very interested in this product to stop oil injestion

I have running the Krankvent for over a year. They work great. You put it in the wrong spot. I will take a picture of mine and show you where to put it.
