positive crankcase ventilation….why is it so bad?? seems to be one of the first things people get rid of along with egr, dpf, etc…
in my case i have 150k on my short block, rings are definitely showing their age, but still runs good. I have been venting my crankcase fumes to a catch can with a breather on top of it, which works, but is going a step backwards imo.
if i were to create a vacuum on the crankcase it would seal the rings better, rid of any pumping loses from blowby, and no more smelly mess. why is it a common practice to rid of this system??
im welding a couple of these on my down pipe this weekend!!
