Re: Stephanie's Project V-8 RS
that it does, as the rpm increases and vacuum drops on the pcv side the engine will tend to belch back through the fresh air intake hose. I put an oil catch inline with the intake to reduce the oil fouling of the fuel pressure regulator. It is amazing how much water vapor and oily crap it catches.reaper wrote:Scott,

It's not really a problem as I do not run
the return line,It has a tendency to foul up
the injector tower/regulator.

When I mentioned "It does not work" I was reffering to the valve cover.kings-x59 wrote:that it does, as the rpm increases and vacuum drops on the pcv side the engine will tend to belch back through the fresh air intake hose.

I have since installed a K&N breather.

Re: Stephanie's Project V-8 RS
I always think of Canada as being so much more green than the US. Putting a breather filter on the intake side of the pcv system is illegal here ( for the reason I mentioned in my previous post). At the state of my 4.3 right now, a breather filter would be plugged inside of 2 days.
more pics plz, I'm getting a vicarious thrill

Re: Stephanie's Project V-8 RS
In case you Vancouver guys need anything, i found this CL ad tonite. Guy says the '93 is in great shape, but the motor is blown so he is parting it out. All complete at this point in time.

Re: Stephanie's Project V-8 RS
Well Crime In Italy,Were back on it again,
Yesterday the van actually moved...........I towed to the front yard with my
massey harris tractor
We removed the stock exhaust for a 3" exhaust replacement.
Today I am checking out the trans & cleaning it up & paint.
Steph is going to give the van a bath as it looks like hell & has allot of tree pubes on it.
We are working on it later on in the day as it's smokin' hot outside,but at least
it's getting done at a slow pace.
