Photo Album17, Random Photos, Slobber Tube Fix Photos & 10,000 lbs. Hitch

[Gregory OConnor]

Kurt, the crank case vent system looks like a pro install. I wonder
if use of metalic tube would help keep the oil from building up and
forming a line blockage that leads to crankcase + pressure and seal
damage???????
The metalic tube would heat up ( transfer block heat) and pass oil to
the new filter better. part of the reason the vent hose are not
routed horizontally is because the oil will not drain via gravity
after shut down.
The 8v92 slobber tubes dont vent the crank case they handle a
byproduct of the 2 cycle engine design that the S 60 does not
produce. some 8v92 owners use "crap cans" that collect the slobber
but allow pressure bypass.

there is more crankcase pressure when the engine is cold or when the
owner runs the fan to cool the engine lower than the engineered op
temp in a false scense of operating kindness. The block and pistons
are designed to size at a given temp.
