Slobber No More!!!!! & Thoughts on fan override

[bumpersbird]

The only thing the Cans did was hook up the oil return. I don't think
them boys in Nashville think their Canadians. I installed the rest of
the system. The CCV is hooked up to the vent on top of the Valve
cover in place of the tube that used to track down the side of the
block and onto the ground. I'd call that a slobber tube. Gasses are
produced by blow by in the crankcase which are then sucked from the
crankcase vent in through the filter and then returned to the air
intake. You can splice into the fresh air tube anywhere between the
air filter and the turbo for the vacuum needed to make the system
flow. The Racor CCV 6000 has built in diaphragms to off set any - or
+ pressures that may occur in the crankcase. I have read that these
pressures should not be exceeded or you can suck in or blow out your
engine seals, depending on negative or positive pressures. That's why
I picked the Racor. Others like the AirSep from Walker are proud to
advertise that their unit is a negative pressure type and would help
keep the oil in the motor," No leaking seals". That's not what I was
looking for, and you're right about the blankets. If they are going
to work you have to cover everything on the exhaust side.

It works, here are a few references including a few other products
that are similar in function to the Racor CCV 6000.
