I am starting to get oil in the intake tube and area. So I want to stop this oil from getting in. Truck has 42,000. So what is the best kit out there.

 

The most proven and inexpensive solution is to simply install a oil separator between the passenger side PCV and the intake galley line and line to the Plenum. Some install separators just before the passenger side entrance to the plenum. Maitenance free realistically should not be a concern because most owners of these trucks are always working with their trucks anyway....always tinkering with something.. ....fanatics !

I personally have run a separator on both the passenger side cam cover and the drivers side cam cover. It completely keep oil out and was low maintenance plus it retains the Engineers factory design which is important. I run this set up most of the time.

No Kit offered has been designed with the support of a 5.4 L Supercharged Engine PCV Engineer and some are ridiculously expensive!!!.....Just folks who are convinced they understand it. Some of the aftermarket kits will produce a brown milky substance at the filler neck which confirms incomplete crankcase venting.

When I'm at the track I run a breathers on each cam cover plus a breather in place of the oil cap with the intake boot plugged, the plenum plugged and the vacuum line from the intake galley plugged..........1000% no oil in the intake. I have pics of the breathers in my gallery, I have lowered the breathers to just above the cam covers since these pics....

take a day or two and read ..all the opinions.

My vote goes to the Swanson Kit

 

I installed the Lightning Enterprises kit 5,000 miles ago. Zero oil in intake, the intercooler was clean when we installed the Apten blower.

 

I've been running the Swanson Kit with a breather cap and chip burned for the breather cap for 10,000 miles. I have no oil in the intake (it was saturated before), no brown milky substance in the filler neck and it runs flawlessly. I run a 5# lower pulley.

The breather cap had helped with oil being sucked through the driverside valve cover but didn't stop the oil from being sucked up behind the T/B. The Swanson kit took care of that and things are dry now.

 

Where can you get a Swanson kit? Are they their own company or do you have to go through someone else?

 

Call them.

Swanson Site

 

Glad someone started this post.
Went to the site but didn't see anything in the product section about it.
I will prolly call tomorrow also.

Is this the deal with the dime and hole in it? Or is that in addition to.

I am not looking for a big debate here. I just upgraded my intercooler a while back and wanted to get a jump on things. My old one was a mess.

 

Jay!, you have PM over at B.M.C.

 

if you are going with the swanson kit.

MAKE YOUR OWN for $3.

a different PCV Valve ($2.80)
and a DIME ($0.10)

Poof you're Done.

 

Ditto
..If I were to use the Swanson kit (Im not)...........I would drill a small hole in the dime...it will still keep oil out., and it will also help keep oil out of the intake galley and vent the motor more than if it was not there...my .03

a supercharged engine is different than a aspirated gasoline engine concerning crankcase breathing. With our engines, crankcase breathing MUST be allowed to circulate both in a forward AND in a reverse direction. During most boost scenarios (not all), pressure will build at the top of the s/c causing crankcase breathing to reverse direction. As positive pressure builds at the top of the s/c, crankcase gasses are forced back down through the PCV valve, through the crankcase and out the inlet tube into the inlet air stream. This pressure, normally, is no greater than 2psi ...so the statement that "pressuizing the crankcase is not a good thing comes with no understanding of what amount of pressure would have an adverse affect at what duration which is nil. if you retain the factory PCV valve....the crankcase must remain unpressurized during boosted and no boost operations. This is the reason for the PCV valve function in our engines (it flows both ways).

 

Which PCV valve?

 

the only one? on the pass. cam cover. The kit installs a Motorcraft
EV-98-B
D9ZZ-6A666-A







You have not done this yet????

 

Not yet...

So is that the valve there? Does it fit back into the cam cover hole?

That is the 5.0L mustang PCV part # too btw lol

 

yes thats it. Its an exact fit ..

.. It will provide a very small amount of reverse flow under pressure, I dont think you have the strength to blow through it, (maybe you do j/k)but you can certainly blow through the stocker as designed.


Do you know were to install the dime ?
