sorry for the misunderstanding max ......

I was only showing what is needed to design the solution that is on the factory schematic under the hood, but was never installed. It does leave the factory engineering intact and removes oil from the system.

Thanks for verifying that you misunderstood. I appreciate your clarifications, as they providing credence to each of my initial statements. Individual members will decide what, if any, oil control information they deem valuable. As usual, threads are Self-regulative. It's apparent to informed members why PCV threads become ruined and nauseating. Cool, thanks

Max, I have read a lot of old threads and like your solution.
I looked at your parts list and totally understand everything except the parts coming out of RT side of seperation...the Cap, 1/8" NPT with 11/32 OD O-ring inside.
Hate to be so stupid...can you elaberate more on these parts and how they connect to the plenum?
Thanks a lot!

Bill,
Not stupid ! ...ask me anything, anytime.
On the right side of the separator is ONE fitting. It's a male 1/4"NPT X 3/8" barbed fitting. The 3/8" barb slides directly into the factory black rubber adapter in the photo. When you pull BOTH ends of the factory plastic tube from this area, you'll see right where both ends of the separator assembly barb in. The "Cap: 1/8"NPT with 11/32"O.D. O-Ring inside" is simply the cap on the bottom of the bowl. Silver in the photo, it covers the valve on the bottom of the bowl. Happy retirement and Welcome from up the road.

Max,
I finally rounded up all of the parts today! Might mention to everyone that the filter is located in the air compressor parts at my Walmart!
One more question! Does this application change any air flow or effect any monitoring levels performed by the MAS or computer that will require adjustments?
Or, can I just install it and blow and go?
Thanks
