Young man I really like the fact that your still working on trucks and hitting the woods not letting that chair get in your way. Hope you stick a nice one bud!
He probably got busted like the others
Been running the CCV mod for 18 years on my 2000 7.3. Still runnning strong with plenty of compression and fast turbo spool up and not to mention clean tubes and boots.
Having oil mist going underneath your truck will prevent rust for those people like me that live were snow falls and they use salt on the roads.
Just don't do it to a 6.0.
Been a Diesel mechanic, truck coach and heavy equipment, since 1976, still working on Diesels. I agree with you 100%. I have a 1999 F250 7.3 26500km. I have had the CCM mod done on my truck for 3 years and haven't had any problem. I also agree it has to be done properly. Love watching your web site videos, you have given me a lot of ideas. Take care and be safe,
From Ontario Canada.
What about an oil catch can, and then back into the intake?
Thank you so much, I’ve been driving around mosquito fogging oil smoke at every stop, it was really bad. I went ahead and did what you did this morning after watching your video. I also cleaned my air filter while I was there and I think that was my problem.
hey thanks for the info on that ccv mod. im looking to purchase my first 7.3 here soon and will def be doing it. Glad to see you still get to turn wrenches and not let the chair get in the way thats awesome life is to short live life to the fullest. keep up the good work bud.
Great video, appreciate the information! Checking my 7.🌳 in the morning to see where my CCV in point'n! Happy New Year, my friend!
I seen a video of a mod route cc v to a filter that could be changed periodically no smell and not going in inner cooler or intake.been out of my chair for a while now hope I stay strong and walk for a long time. You definitely inspired me thanks
I did the cover mod 6 or 8 years ago. The only down side I saw was the smell and oil vapor at idle. 6 months ago I go a single fitting like comes with the Moroso pan evac for race cars. It has a 45° cut and a booster bleed hole for inside the exhaust. Picked up a anti blow back valve from NAPA that's for the old exhaust air injection systems. Welded it in just behind the muffler. Works great. No more smell or vapor and the Wife is much happier!
Semis have the same thing. We call it a blow by. Now i gotta go check where mine is lol. Thanks for the info
Just rebuilt my 7.3 and after having to degrease the intercooler 10 times to get all the oil out never again! CCV will forever VTA just like HD engines. I drive a semi and all of em VTA on the years before the greenie wackos were able to cause the current issues. Hats off to your sir for not letting life hold ya down. Keep up the good work!
I vented mine over 10 years ago with no issues.
One of the earliest kind of emission devices for road vehicles was to vent cc gasses back to intake. Think PCV valve on gassers. My 64' 289 gasser vented to atmosphere on valve cover where you fill oil with no issues before pcv's where even thought of, other than a big gimmey oily mess in that area lol. Industrial diesels don't have emissions and why they don't have to vent back to intake. That's all that ccv is on our diesels, a PCV in a sense. You're spot on with correct ccv by-pass hose run. If you have a dip, it WILL eventually fill up that dip and cause a blockage (think p-trap under your sink) or partial block from reduced inner hose diameter= back pressure in crankcase = seals/gaskets will start to leak. 7.3L Navistar International owner here. Well done video Sir.
I injoy your chanel. I look forward to seeing your bumper and finding out how you are going to go hunting.
One thing I'd like to add; use a metal pipe when the road draft pipe reaches the underside of the truck so that wind doesn't bend those hose and close off the tube.
I did the same type of mod on my 07 Harley, the vent originally went back into the air filter, making it dirty faster. So I routed it to the ground, it works great.
I live in krazy California where we have to smog check our trucks every other year (even diesel). I just bought a 02 F350 with a 7.3 diesel, with only 44,000 miles. I'm going to do all the mods I could to protect and improve performance. Every other year I'll be changing it back to stock to get that smog check. 😉
thank you for putting into video form all i have been preaching for years. . oil on a turbine asks particulate to cling causing slight imbalance and buildup leading to junk in the housing bouncing around and eating the turbine. not to mention the boots and intercooler as stated. i have seen several of your videos now and can direct people to your instruction visually rather than try to explain thank you.
One way if someone is no ok with it venting outside. A catch can will help catch the oil in vapor. But I agree with you on just venting it under the truck.
Thanks for the logical explanation!! Everyone in this community seems to be stuck arguing on the grounds of "what worked for me is best". Can't wait to see how well the millermatic works because I've been looking into buying one for my metal projects.
I try to be logical. As for the welder, I love it so far
He’s right about the T444e ccv. As soon as I watched this video I researched the T444e engine and you see clear as day how the tube is routed **with Turbo.** Very well done!
I have triple 4 in school buses and they are not vented.
I own both 12 valve Cummins and an OBS 7.3 Powerstroke. I was very surprised to see the CCV on a 6.7 Cummins in a 2019 medium duty KW venting to the atmosphere unlike the same engine used in an Automotive application like the Ram pickup.
We had slobber cups on the ccv hoses when I was in the military to make the tree huggers happy. The engine hulls still filled with grease and oil on those tanks.
Very compelling case. Previous owner of my excursion did the ccv mod to vent to atmosphere. I switched back to vent into turbo. Now I’m second guessing myself.
It’s not really going to harm anything either way. More just personal preference.
Good for you sharing the truth and nothing more on this subject. Lots of wrong information out there about it. I have done it on 4 trucks, and not one problem with any of the trucks. Nice truck btw.
If you do the ccv mod do remember to plug the intake. Or you could get dust and dirt in to your turbo.
Yep! Good insight. I forgot to mention that.
what size plug will work? I need to do my 'new' f550
What size plug?
I also cut a y in to the oil filler. Directed the hose to the other U joints in front. Doesn't Grease the U-joints but keeps the rust and rock salt from developing on the outside
Thanks, makes since.
Sold! Solid Argument and I double checked what you said also the 90 is the weak link! Appreciate your videos!
Yep. My old 03 cummins had it venting down the side of the block
All I know is when we put vacuum pumps on the drag race engines we build, and pull a little bit of vacuum on the crankcase, they increase horsepower. Proven by numbers on the engine and or chassis dynos.
This is absolutely correct and fords main reason to do it. This is also why it should "not be deleted". It provides free hp...
How stupid are you people. Take some physics classes. And look at every big truck on the road. They vent out underneath. 🤦♂️
Dlsmith609 why don’t you explain it in layman’s terms for us “stupid people”. I don’t need to take a physics class when I can see evidence right in front of my face on the dyno.
That’s a great point Joe! One that I had not heard yet. Thanks for sharing
Dlsmith609 that’s cause a road draft tube on a semi is being vented at the crank case although I will admit Internationals desighn puts a whole in my argument. But there’s reason why Ford went away from that international’s original desighn. It wasn’t emmisons there weren’t any back then
Thanks for the vid mine has ccv to atmosphere
The channel Gillians Garage put a video up 2 months ago, International made a filter assembly to replace the ccv cover, with a replaceable filter. Only $90 on eBay. It’s a good option for people that don’t like the smell or need to keep it emissions compliant!
Thanks ranktank 15!!!!
I’ve done this for years , first time I did it in (2015) I had a small kink in the hose , didn’t care that much but yes leaks start to happen whatever fixed it not freaked out about it , then put a 3/4” tube properly routed it and no kinks , no leaks no issues no problems 1997 7.3 powerstroke 632,343km on it. 2021 daily driven , do the mod
Thanks man. Good Info
It is just a mod like all the others you can choose to do or not to do. I like hearing all the sides b4 i do anything to my truck. I personally have not done this mod because of the off chance of messing something up. For now my turbo is fairly clean. Great Vid, keep up the good work. Now, do one on the 10k mod, that will get people chatting away :)
Exactly. Everyone’s gotta decide what they want to do. Maybe I’ll do the 10k mod haha
Thanks I will do this tomorrow
Part # is International CCV3550 T444E
thanks for your video , and honesty
Nicely put . Another great video. I think your right.Bill is a smart guy, but...common sense prevails.
You could also use a sediment bowl in the suction line to capture the oil in the line. Better yet install a vacuum pump to the crankcase vent line with a sediment bowl. The vacuum in your crankcase should give you a bit more power. The only maintenance is draining the sediment bowl or filter trap assembly.
Uhjh a catch can lol?
Sounds good. How about running it directly into an oil-bath air cleaner/filter? Keeps the filter wet and allows the gasses to be recycled. (GO GREEN) :)
I've got a 6.0 Powerstroke. It's been Atmosphere vented for over 100 thousand miles now. Zero problems with seals leaking etc. I did it because I started noticing my boots getting dirty and soaked. One day a boot blew off. that was in the year 2012. After delete it has never been a problem since. Still have the truck and have only been using it for heavy hauling.
I put a 1" diameter wash machine drain hose on it for the vent tube. I ran it past the cab and dump the gases at the rear wheels. I do notice a tiny bit of mist every once in a while. But hardly any oil mess from it.
I never heard of it being demonized out of some theory that it was bad. I assumed everyone knew it was just EPA smog stuff forced on the manufacturers.
The only way a straight dump tube would cause a problem would be restriction of it or by it. That would just be a stupid person doing a simple mod wrong. But it would be even more idiotic that a mechanic wouldn't see that the dump was done wrong. Unless they had limited exposure to diesel engines in general. They would probably have been limited to just small trucks with diesel engines being forced to have EPA smog systems. Not familiar with all truck diesel engines.
I put over 3 million miles on heavy trucks during my driving career. None of the trucks had CCV systems. Up to 2015 when I retired the last truck I drove, was a direct to atmosphere dumped system. What the hell has happened to people being able to do a little looking into things before following one persons theory. Easy pickings
ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.....HOWEVER I DON'T LIKE TO BE "TEASED".....SO.....WHEN WILL WE SEE THE MYSTERY PART?....
B-T-W.....I WAS PLANNING TO MOVE MY C.C.V. IN THE SPRING TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK.....(LIKE GUZZLE'S DID).....AND NOW I WILL KEEP THAT PL;AN.....KEEP THOSE GOOD VIDEOS COMING.....
I knew I could get the real lowdown from you. Thank you.
Worked on plenty of prime moves and mining equipment and pretty much all of them are vented to atmosphere. I have seen another video and think it’s a great idea of the international mode with a filter and then oil draining back into engine I believe .
Instead of venting direct to atmosphere, you could put an inline oil catch before putting it into the turbo if you still need to pass emissions standards. You could have that drain to the oil pan
I don't know that you'd want that stuff going into the pan. I have a catch can on my 94 Jeep Cherokee and it's picked up some REALLY nasty crap out of the vapor, almost looks like coffee with creamer and stings your nose like acetone 🤢
I personally prefer the catch can idea, and routing it to the grill to be cooled and condense the vapor, but after seeing what my can has picked up, I'd rather dump that crap in the trash
@@jesusfeathers3477 yours is not working right. Filter media needs to be changed
Just install a large oil catch can or a cyclone separator and route it back to the intake. Oil problem solved and crankcase is still venting.
Thats exactly what crossed my mind as i was watching this!
@@hectortello3766
I run a fleet of 7.3l’s from F-250 to F-550’s and that’s what I do, it’s worked out great!
Thank you! Every high performance engine has used catch cans for decades. Draft tubes are for jackasses.
On a international 4700 with the dt444 it is vented to side of the block, my dt466 is the same way no problems. It doesn't leak oil out the pipe.
My buddy runs a 1-in inlet 1-in outlet catch can on his vent. To prevent any messes. Mine is still factory setting so I can't give no advice
CCV3550-FRD-02 however, if you increase the power some suggest using CCV4500.
I love what you say. I always thought Bill was not firing on all cylinders when he brought up that topic. One I will do what I have to to get that engine sewage out and away from ever reaching my combustion chamber or going back into my crankcase. Engineers smarter than most of us went through great pain to come up with an air-fuel ratio that will be the cleanest burning and get the most HP out of the least amount of fuel. Then some i----t puts a bunch of sewage in it. Sorry, this does not compute.
PS I run a 1" line to the inlet and exit of my rather large and well-baffled catch can. A DIY Can that is impressive the amount of engine sewage it will capture in a 5k service.
Good info. Looking for a full-size diesel pickup to tow a 26’ camper trailer. They seem to be rare as hens’ teeth! And when I do find one, they’re asking (and getting) 20Gs for 15 year-old, well-maintained examples!
Yeah, the market for used diesels is absolutely crazy right now. Good deals pop up but the aren’t nearly as frequent.
Hey man! Thanks for the knowledge sharing and thank you for the video. Also thank you for staying neutral. Some people come aggressive with all kinds of profanity and even a bit radical. You stayed neutral and straight to the point. Cheers
Agree with you totally!
You can always get a nice looking catch can with a dip stick for like $30-40
when I was going to the ccv mod on my old 7.3, I was going to route the hose to a oil catch can and back to the intake. My reason, is the advantage I would get from my race engine in the past from the extra "sucking pressure" of the intake, freeing up any extra pressure in the engine.. but to each their own
There a good chance I will go this route at some point
I like this idea best! I have been on the fence of doing this mod with this kit. It seems like the best of both worlds.
www.ebay.com/itm/CCV3550-GREEN-DIESEL-CRANKCASE-VENTILATION-SYSTEM-INTERNATIONAL-T444E-FORD-7-3L-/362687040217
I brought my truck to a shop to get the ccv mod done . The dummies didn’t flip it around and it was kinked . About half way home I noticed my truck smoking . When I got home I saw raw oil in the exhaust and oil coming out of my bell housing . It pressured up and blew oil through the seals . I routed it properly and not an issue since . The shop that did it will be replacing all seals if they start leaking within 50 thousand k . definitely a good mod but like you say …do it correctly and there is no issue
Another point to know. When and if you do get a worn out or have broken rings. The intercooler condenses the oil and is trapped in it. When you do romp on the fuel, you can and will have a run away. Have had my ccv deleted for 12 years, with no issues. Have 400,000 miles on it and still going strong!
I have a 01 EX with 350k on it if i did the mod would i have to replace my intercooler to make sure its clear?
No. But wouldn’t hurt to flush it out and see if there is any oil in it.
Love the intro nice rig!!!!
Good information buddy
Good luck on the hunt! Love that venison
Good veedio, I’v ben running my vent tuub to the interior cab of me truk fore the past 4 yeers and haven’t nowticed as any prawblems. In fact I thienk the fumes are even making me more smarter !!!!
Just asking , to stop the issue with vent to the ground, with the breather venting to the back , how about running the hose up and looping it over the top of the master cyl.and around and hook the hose back to the intake fitting. Would that distance in the hose going up hill be enough for the oil to run back in the breather ? My 01 7.3 with 186k doesn't seem to have that much oil in the intake .
I have tried the 6637 , but since it came with a AIS filter that is much quiter ,I like it . Thanks for all your advise on the old 7.3s .
Great take on this! One thing I would consider: when these engines were designed, we had better fuel with more lubricity (pre-ulsd). We now have drier fuel that doesn’t lubricate as well. Do you think it’s possible that the ccv staying intact helps with restoring some lubricity? I think as far as the engine running well (not blowing seals, etc.) with the atmospheric ventilation, I’m on the same page with you. I just wonder about maybe some premature wear on things like valve seats from the lack of fuel lubricity and now taking out something that possibly helps restore it, at least on the base engine side. You can always add fuel additives to help restore lubricity, which I highly recommend anyways. You post some quality content. Keep it up!
This was my take on it. I don’t care either way what people do, I leave mine on because the way I see it, you’re literally getting free lubrication from an off-gas. 364K miles with a pretty much stock truck with no blowby and no issues or leaks.
I'm rather cautious when it comes to lubricity. My tank holds about 39 gallons and every tank I add a quart of 50/50 mix of 2 stroke oil and Howes Diesel Treat. Hasn't really changed performance or MPG, but it seems to run a little quieter and the acceleration is smoother. Definitely recommend it, especially for a hard working engine.
@@Racc1-1 lmfao
How would the fuel lubrication effect valve seats? The fuel is directly injected into the cylinder.
I used high temp silicone hose I've got it aimed at the rear drive shaft front universals keeps done nice and lubed. I was going to put a catch can. But I did not. What are your thoughts on a catch can?
Also I've seen, Bless their Heart, disconnect the CCV and put a plug in it! Total dumb arses :) But I'm going to do want you said, to run the tube up over the brake master then strait down! Cool info for Power Stroke owners to know! Thanks!
Oil catch can
Do the ccv mod like so
Buy a cylinder catch can
You can run a line from the crank case
To the catch can.
Then run another line to the intake to pull the vapor.
The oil catches in the can and falls to the bottom.
The catch can itself is vented to the atmosphere and had a little filter on the top to keep the dust out.
Would definitely be a good setup
Thumbs up on this one LOW. Best Wishes & Blessings Keith Noneya
My international is vintage back into the turbo just like the Ford with the t444e and I have a medium duty international and everything on the engine is set up just like it is on my Ford
Thankyou
Anyone considering this mod due to oily and messy CAC boots. This mod is really not necessary for this reason. Buy a good quality set of silicone CAC boots, clean all the fittings really well before installing the boots, tighten clamps nice and tight and you will have NO MORE oil residue on your intercooler pipes/ CAC boots. It’s all in buying high quality boots to solve this issue
High quality boots definitely make a big difference
@@LivingOnWheels excellent videos!! I have learned so much about my 99 7.3 thanks to your extensive knowledge and precise explanations!!
Great 👍 i like you video Great point of view
If you care about the enviroment, and your engine, put a system that uses the seperator for the oil to crankcase, like FleetGaurd and others use on industrial engines.
I have had the ccv on mine for a while, but instead of it venting to the atmosphere I ran it through a catch can filter then back into the turbo, kills 2 birds with one stone, gets rid of the oil from goin into the turbo and intercooler but also keeps that vacuum in the system like the facory.
Ive thought about doing the same. Just haven’t gotten around to routing it up.
@@therealaustinbrown2712 At some point I will probably be adding a catch can to my rig.
@@LivingOnWheels yeah its not a bad idea, but atleast yours doesn't leak oil so not i big deal for now.
@@therealaustinbrown2712 That's my mindset as well.
Im in the process of doing this too. Which catch can did you go with and where exactly did you mount yours?
Main reason is the CCV scoop faces where it pulls air into the crank case and not the turbo
I'm gonna add this to the fire... We run crank case vacuum pumps on our race cars that ups horsepower about 8%. So if there is appreciable vacuum draw, it will add some power, via reduced foaming and oil pickup turbulence. That being said, these cars run at 14000 rpm so the tax on the motors is high. I'm not sure if the gain is as appreciable on a truck running 3k.
You can also put a breather on the tube terminus if you're worried about dumping oil vapor. This will control it some so it'll dissipate and drip if anything instead of blow out the tube.
This is something I had not heard about until releasing this video. It is definitely an interesting concept and add fuel to the fire for sure haha
I have a 2008 F250 6.4L powerstroke. My mechanic said it has too much blow by which will cause the seals and engine to eventually fail. It has 156k miles. I have been researching doing a CCV mod. Would your explanation apply to my engine too? I understand that it was the last engine that International engineered and designed for Ford.
People really don't understand Boyle's gas law. If the container is no longer sealed then pressure will equal atmospheric pressure (14.5 PSI). So crank case pressure will equal ambient PSI. I mean I did a CCV catch can on my LS3 and its been running great for 7 years and Its full bolt ons with a vortec.
What you did you use to fill the hole in the intake where the ccv goes into
Just a rubber cap
Great video. I agree with everything except allowing your condensation oil to run back into the engine. This is sticky soot-filled and fuel-diluted oil which is absolutely bad for your engine.
I wish diesel tech Ron could comment on this...
Me too. 🙏
Bill was correct. The CCV equalizes the pressure created by the combustion of the engine. Just had a bunch of mods done and the CCV was one of them. Immediately started having leaks in places that literally just had gaskets replaced. I’m going with a closed system and a catch can. Accomplishes the same thing without the risk of too much pressure in the crank case forcing its way out at other spots. Thank god my mechanic immediately realized it as he was testing the upgrades.
I’m not going to say you’re wrong because it was your truck, not mine. All I can say is that I have run mine vented to the atmosphere, like international did, for a year now without any seal/gasket issues.
That being said, a catch can is a great option 👍🏻
Stupid question,can u do a pressure test of some sorts before and after mid? That would give all proof u need?
does it matter if you turn it around ? i make a custom piece for the intake piece that it connects to and i just turned the 90 and ran the hose down the fender seems to be fine ?
If you’re meaning leave the doghouse in the stock orientation and just turn it to the fender from there, then that should work fine. It’s just a little less discreet.
He is correct!! Cummins ISX and Caterpillar and many other engines are vented to the atmosphere! ISX has a new reusable replacement Crank case filter
What is the bumper brand/style ?
Great videos! Could you install an oil filter housing or some type of filter at the end of the hose to help reduce odor?
You could do a catch can and bring it back to the intake. That’s something I might do
@@LivingOnWheels I'd love to see a video on that. I have too many questions to post here. Currently have my 01 completely disassembled for a complete restoration. Frame is going in next week for sandblasting. Keep up the good work!
@@LivingOnWheels When you say bring it back to the intake, are you talking about the doghouse? If so, how would you attach a fitting? Thanks!
@@williaml5570 CCV doghouse to a catch can. Then from the catch can back to intake tube where it connects from the factory.
What's your opinion on an air-oil separator?
I think they can be great if setup right. There is a good chance I will install one at some point
Great points and explained well. My question is can you just do like we use to do by putting a check valve in line then into the exhaust pipe?
I feel like that wood cause too much restriction, but I am not sure
@@LivingOnWheels we use to create a large vacuum in the crankcase resulting in more hp. The only negative was if the engine blew too much oil or fuel into the crankcase it would bypass the combustion of the engine and could catch fire in the exhaust. Not too much of an issue with a drag car that ran long tube headers into a 1 to 3 foot extention pipe. The vent line would be plumbed in into the header collector or just past it into the extention tube. My cars were plumbed into the header, we used the extention tube as part of our tuning. Speedway and Summit sell the kits that draw from the valve covers down to the header collectors. One on each side for natural aspirated engines, the single turbo should only need one, if I remember correctly the line was either 3/4" or 1" diameter at the smallest point which was the weld in bung at the header collector.
Sometimes looking into the past and old high performance parts can open up options for newer issues.
Just started watching you, great content without the bs some channels have. Keep up the great work.
Just run a sealed catch can I really don’t understand why people don’t understand
That is absolutely one of the best insights I’ve heard and seen 👍
I appreciate it!
Nice insight man. Personally, I was gonna go with a catch can. I've got a 96, so no intercooler to worry about for me, but it's been bugging me the fact that I've got quite a bit of oil going in my intake, so after this I'm thinking I might just vent.
I also wonder if how worn an engine is might play into wether or not to go either way.
Catch can is not a bad route. I personally might do that myself just out of curiosity. I think either way is just fine.
@@LivingOnWheels I get the vacuum might actually be a good idea and as a means to balance the pressure differential, and in the event of a worn engine, might have more prevalence in the whole blowing gaskets issue since parts are already on their way out and allowing a significantly greater amount of pressure into the crankcase, faster.
For an engine like yours that's still got a good bit of life in it and has been cared for, there might not be enough pressure escaping quickly enough to warrant the need for additional vacuum.
I wonder if it might be a case of both sides are right, depending on the engine itself.
Jesusfeathers honestly I think it probably is a bit of both sides being right.
@@LivingOnWheels That's probably the case, most likely this is a situational grey area.
On the catch can side of things, I think one would be to be routed to the grill where the can can be cooled, or/and the line should be in line with a cooler as well to make sure the oil vapor condenses. I have a 94 Jeep Cherokee with a catch can and I think the oil is still getting into the intake because I mounted the can right above the engine, where it's continually hot and doesn't allow the vapor to condense
@@LivingOnWheels 62 and new to my first diesel 01 7.3 been fun upgrading many things. My 94 Camaro project has a catch can. I like the concept and it’s easy to empty. I added all new pipes like your truck so definitely don’t want all that grime building up. Thanks
I'll leave my 99 CC vent the way it came from ford. A little oil don't bother me. Good video very informative point of view........The guy in the comment that called Bill a fool; Bill has helped me and millions of other's in so many different ways how take care and fix our trucks and save boatloads of money in the process. Also to be honest the negative remarks were very uncalled for.
Or run a high flow filtered catch can and then back to turbo/ intake, they are supposed to remove oil, fuel, and water vapors. That's better than the stock way right? Or am I wrong?
I think a catch can is a great solution. Kinda the best of both worlds
So when the piston is on its down stroke it is fighting that crankcase pressure as it is trying to go down! You have a very good idea with the vent. Do you add any kind of PCV valve on the hose to prevent it from sucking air back into the valve cover?
I don’t know exactly how these engines are valences but I’d imagine that as one piston is on its down stroke another is on it’s up stroke. Balancing that effect out. Also, in general diesels will have enough gas going past the rings that there will always be positive crank case pressure.
How much pressure should be coming out the hose
I don’t have a numerical answer but not a lot. The less the better.
What music are you using in this intro? I'm really liking it!
This is the one 👌🏻

Love your videos. Would you share with me what you did and the parts and sizes you used to make your Ccv mod. I was going to use the 1/2 heater hose and had done bought it when I watched your video. I just want to do it right. Thanks.
Much appreciated. I used 3/4” heaters hose, 3/4” barb to barb adapter and a 3/4” cap for the intake hole. That’s all it is 👍🏻

@@LivingOnWheels thanks brother. I just put on a PSC power steering unit on and while I was in there I did the ccv mod with ur tips. Thanks love the videos
Give this man a STANDING ovation!!
Alright chief if your in ca. these motors are still required to go thru smog even tho they have no production smog equipment. Visual check is a fail if you are routed to atmosphere. That’s why you go to a catch can and back to the intake
Yes, a catch can would be a nice option for the California people.
