here's mine:





i had it in before i got my engine swapped. i would fill up about once per tank of gas.

the other day i noticed that the walmart by me had the filters on clearance for like $5! (in the auto section)

it's just and air filter and some fittings, btw. i hacked up the stock hose.

they also sell a much bigger air filter at home depot (right next to this one) that can be used if you don't want to empty it as much,
but it will probably need to be located somewhere else in your engine bay.

also, since i no longer use mine i could sell it to someone for ~$20 shipped. send a pm if you're interested, i can get pics up if you'd like.

Why would you put that on your PCV?? Do you know the function of you PCV??

I thought that was the wrong location when I looked at it. I wonder if that was one of the reasons you had problems with your old engine, and if not, could that have attributed to it?

well, it should have been before the pcv valve, but this was easier.

and it's still doing it's job by keeping blowby oil out of the intake manifold, just not quite as well as if it were before the pcv valve.

my engine problems were happening way before i put this thing in. due to the amount i was collecting it made me think that i probably had a bad piston ring letting a lot of oil by, as well as a bad head gasket, because my coolant had oil in it.

Good thing you got it swapped out.

 

[xluben]

yeah, adding up all the probably repairs that needed to be done and swapping the engine just made more sense.
