Is that how you are going to paint your 392 Charger?

 

She wanted to paint her truck like mine only with pink Instead of blue but the car I believe is getting left alone sleeper status

 

This is where I will be putting an air filter for fresh air this line usually goes back to the air intake box

 

This is the drivers side vent went with screw in fittings was easier for me to do it this way and cheaper than buying fittings and having them welded on

 

Passenger side vent both vents are directly in the middle of te rocker rails no oil going in this area while running

 

Exhaust vent line connected to driver side runs up so oil vapor will at least partially drain back if it runs up if oil vapor becomes an issue will just add catch cans inline and still run to exhaust this setup with the filter should solve my crankcase issue will also be making a sealed pcv valve for the track only one less psi leak area

Also you can see how I am measuring te psi in the crankcase with my boost gauge hooked up to the dipstick tube works very well for measuring

 

Drivers side vent in exhaust truck is kinda low hard to take pic

 

Passenger side vent

Both are installed just after one exhaust tube in the collector 1/2 deep on a 45 with a 45 cut at the end causing a Venturi effect both pull a vacuum at idle so they will keep the oil moisture free should take care of the psi in the crank

 

 

Question. Does it matter were the vent is piped in at on the header? Like the top of the header collector?

 

Yes it does they have to be just after where the pipes meet the collectors in this area the flow is the greatest and the pulses cause the vacuum as the flow across the end of the tube

 

Completed testing for crankcase pressure. Had almost 2psi crank pressure at 10psi boost(10.5boost spring and W/M set correctly). Note: I don't know about your truck. But, my truck started smoking white. Uncapped the intake manifold breather tube. And the white smoke cleared out. PCV valve test sat.

 

Mine never smoked before or now will be doing a test in a week or so once I get the gears in gotta limp by right now

Keep a eye on your coolant level, white smoke is a indicator you have water in the combustion chamber.

 

How do you know if ur getting pressure in the crank case? I don't think mine did that. Would running the breather hose to the intake cause the positive pressure? I just left mine unhooked

Do watch your oil level, Keith.

 

No, no, no........ Everything is fine.

Just was doing the same test that Keith did on his engine. Just checking to see if the engine had some blow by(crankcase pressure) while under boost with the intake manifold/engine vent tube plugged. Was expecting more pressure/blow by from the rings in consideration of the cylinders rust pitting. I'm very happy it's not as bad as Keith's.

Of course his engine ring gaps might be more than my engine. That means his engine can take more boost than my loose/egg shaped cylinders re-ringed rebuilt spare engine.

In your opinion, why do you think this is happening?

Yes...

Just a very quick test only Jay.

The cross hatch(220 grit) and pitting is holding some of the oil on the cylinder walls for better lubrication and ring sealing. At least, that's what I hope is happening.

Maybe the extra W/M is helping the rings(.024 top ring, .028 second ring gaps) from expanding too much too.

Extra ring sealing with a little water maybe.
