cleaned the inercooler this weekend. it was as dirty as I thought it would be after driving for 83,xxx miles. it was a great learning experience but dont really want to do it again. i did a little research and found that taking the PCV system out will allow "0" oil into the inercooler area. but it was a post from last year. has there been any new info on if this is still a good idea or not. if not please let me know if there is another alternative to keeping oil out of the inercooler area.

thanks
kurt

 

is this still a reliable way to keep the oil out of the inercooler and intake boot

I certainly hope so because that's exactly what I did to my truck yesterday.

 

you can get creative to avoid any oil smell

 

I've had 3 breathers for 2 years and never noticed any smell. But I also change my oil about every 500 miles or so - so there's not much build up of any combustion byproducts in the oil which you will get more of when eliminating the PCV system.

 

this is a very bad act, the oil does not have time to collect any contaminates that are in the engine
you really should stick to 3000 miles
2000 at the very least

Hummmmnn I guess if the fins are bone dry some oil could migrate through.. Too late to check now because the KB is back on...
