hey guys I have been having an issue with sucking tons of oil through the pcv valve into the intake. We did some commpression and leakdown testing yesterday and I have blow by. Because of a faulty crank sensor I had a hard time getting the motor fired after it was built. then the dist was indexed one position and the iac was jacked up. All of this toghether washed my rings. So today the motor will be coming out and we will be replacing the rings and rod berings of corse.
I have to have all this done before I move to texas on january the 10th.
Makes me wonder how she will really run with 9.6 commpresion and not 8!

 

I actually built a catch can for blow by on my dodge. Used a Husky air compressor filter like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100027474

two rubber hoses, two nipple fittings on each end of the filter, a couple of band clamps and zip ties and you're in business. I zip tied it to the brake master cylinder for easy cleaning.

Take the hose from the PCV to the filter to the intake manifold port, mind the directional arrows in the filter. Check it about once a week.

 

That would stop the oil from getting to my intake but the real problem still exsits. Yanking the motor soon this afternoon. No need to watch the lions we all know they are going to lose

 

Hope things turn out all right. Sorry to hear :/

 

yeah thanks.

Motor is on the engine stand now. After we let our hands and knees warmup we will be going back out there to teardown.

 

Good luck! at least you know the problem. sounds fun.... well kinda.

 

problem is the truck has to fire right away to breakin the rings and with all the computer stuff it is likely that it wont. tempted to take the motor to muscle motors and have them fire it on a dyno with a carb to break it in.

 

yea, that's what i would do, then you could also do a few pulls to see just what it's putting out

 

what part of texas you movin to?

 

if ya want to get rid of that 408 stop on by NC and ill take it off yoru hands.. lol, hope that beast works out....
