JLT oil separator

[Chris Crampton]

It's from the cyclonic effect from the spinning crank. Air is drawn down on the drivers side and pushed up on the passenger.

Ah,makes perfect sense...thanks so much.

Oh sure! The crankshaft is anything but aerodynamic and would necessarily move air, and oil droplets embedded in the air. A perfect explanation. Thank you, Mr. Crampton.

Just a little feedback, even Supercharged my drivers side hose is dry.
Whipple setup has the drivers side hose really close to the filter, so there's very little to none it terms of vacuum.
I see some CAI setups that place the drivers side hose very close to the TB where the tube starts getting smaller
and will start a venture effect on the drivers side hose.
I seriously question that, and have done my own research and ask reliable engine shops about this and basically this is what I came up with.

Having both sides of the valve covers sucking air all the time is not a good idea, crank case pressure being - or + is never a good thing,
from drawing fuel pass the rings, blowing gaskets, you can potentially prevent the oil squirters in our engines from doing there job.

Just my 2 cents.

After only 116 miles, here is the intake reside from my newly installed Moroso air/oil separator:

Logged my first 100 miles since install and this is what I found. Amazing to think this would normally be going back into the intake. Can't imagine what the subzero temps will do.

Vette drivers with a lot more HP and uglier conditions than you see plus you need to do more research because you are Very Much in the weeds here.

So your saying speed shops and engine builders don't know what their talking about.

Ahhhh, OK

Sorry you are going to the wrong ones lol. I have had motorcycles that make your wimpy Ford look like a toy..... You do not want to go here but if you do then be my guest.... Love to scalp Yankees

Since you live up there do you know Scott Shafiroff?

 

[MTF]

Yeah, and look all his engines on the website, they have a breather filter on the drivers side.

Well what do you know about that.
