1. Effectiveness of oil breather caps are questionable at best.
2. Pictures are worth a 1000 words.................

Backside of Oil Burnt T-Body


Front of Intake **poor picture quality



Thanks to REM

 

One more for good measure.......

Oil Seperator after install and 10 min. ride. If you look really hard you can see it was already working. Sorry poor pic. quality.

 

Thanks for the pics!
Did you do anything to the PCV hose that connects from the drivers side cam cover to the bottom of the intake boot?

 

I put mine in and had about 1/2 to 3/4 of an ounce of oil in 3 DAYS!. My throttle body looked almost as bad as yours after only 2700 miles on the truck. I had a breather cap on the truck from the first few days I owned the truck...

I think this mod should be done by every single L and 02HD-- period.

 

01Lightning,

Nothing was done with the PCV hose that connect to the intake boot.

 

Onelfastlride: The last time I inspected mine, I had no signs of oil coming from the drivers side. I guess that it because there is not much of a vaccuum pulled from that side, but the passenger side is a different story since the line connects downstream of the TB.

Where did you find your parts?

 

Same place I did oil seperator kit from Razor's Edge Motorsports

 

Do they have a website?

 

01Lightning,

I'm by no means an expert here. Razor's Edge Motorsports sells the kit I believe for $49. call em

(954) 917 9200

 

I tried to find the Campbell Hausfeld parts that were listed in an earlier post at both Home Depot and Lowe's. Neither one had the 3/8" inline filter. Both had Amtrol or Airtrol (not sure) filters but they weren't 3/8".
Anybody know where else to look for these parts.

Does Razor's Edge have a web site to order from or at least look at their version of the oil seperator mod?

Thanks,
Eric

 

I found a 3/8" filter made by Amflo on the Lowe's website. Cost is $27.88.

 

Any farm store that sell supplies , i got mine from the tractor trailer supplies mine was 12 dollars for the filter the hose kit was 4 dollars and the pvc tube was 1.97. drove mine the same day about 15 miles and had oil already in the filter
