Pcv cooler discussion

[M91]

I deleted the pcv and i blocked the pcv cooling lines in both the crossover tube and on the intake manifold n i regretted doing it, so am gonna put the pcv back on n do i have to put back the cooling hoses back or just put the pcv hose back n be done with it?

[Marauderjack]

Those lines actually keep it HOT so the vapor from the Crank Case doesn't condense into liquid water inside the intake manifold!!;)

You really should hook 'em back up.....not absolutely necessary but worthwhile IMHO:beer:!!

[RF Overlord]

They're primarily there so that condensation, mentioned by Marauderjack above, doesn't freeze in winter. Unlikely you'll have that issue in KSA.

Put the PVC back and leave the coolant lines disconnected.

Find yourself a good baffled catch can. If your SC'ed then it gets more detailed to do it right.

[M91]

Cool, less hassle for me i guess :) i'll keep the coolant hoses off for now, but going SC is a project that i need to make the car ready for it b cuz i bought the car n it was in a bad shape everything is broken n am still working on resurrecting it so u will see me asking alot of questions about some things :))

Thanks for the help guys i appreciate it.

Doesn't the catch hurt the vacuum? Like in rolling speed the car will accelerate like my foot is on the gas? Or on revving the rpm wont go down quickly?

[RF Overlord]

No, not if it's installed correctly. Lots of people have catch cans.

I'd like to add as long as the can is sealed 100% you wont have any vacuum issues

Or simply add a dual port breather tank like I did. Route it down low and pitch both 5/8” hoses from both sides down toward it. I couldn’t stand the smell of open breathers and this cured all the smell and mess.

You can get grommets, 5/8” adaptors and hose at any auto part store. The tank ordered from Summit Racing or Jegs assuming they deliver to you.

IDK Bob.... I think crank case vacuum is a must for a healthy engine.

Way too many benefits to delete

I have a catch can and no heated PCV. No problems.

But you live in the "NC Triangle" where nothing make sense!!:confused:;)

[GoldPanther]

This is interesting, I live in IL, and I hate the oil leak surrounding the PCV, I clean it but I hate it.
I know that with a catch can it will catch all the oil preventing the oil going to the intake. What kind of catch can it's good to have without hurting the PCV function or anything?

[Mackdombles]

If you decide to go with the catch can I have a musclemerc unit in excellent condition. 60 shipped

[musclemerc]

Mack.... What happened with our last talk?

[Mackdombles]

I forget. I am old. Please remind me

I think i rather fabricate a big baffled catch can with dual inlet dual outlet and good paths in it so that the bad particles gets stuck in them and leav some room for the engine vacuum to suck some air, b cuz if it was small the engine will struggle to suck the air from the can, but the question is what tube sizes i should install and they have to be strong to support the vacuum pull not bend like any other heat tubes.
