Since I made one fer my 1993 T-100, I've decided I want to put on on my 1998 T-100 as well.
I've already plumbed in some hoses to run both valve covers to their own separate catches.
Looks like I'll need to replace the PCV valve grommet that goes to the passenger (right) side of the engine since it's pretty hard to pull the PCV valve out and a quick check of the grommet confirmed it was hard as rock instead of that nice rubbery softness we've come to expect. The previous owner (PO) had mentioned the engine was eating about a quart of oil before I bought it. I didn't see any leaks from the valve covers so I immediately suspected the PCV valve was clogged. Seems I was right as the PCV valve was never changed...ever! I was able to scrape out the gunk and free the valve up. Cleaned it up with some carb cleaner and it will be good fer now.
I'm gonna go with some glass jars again (canning or spaghetti sauce) fer this truck as I have them and it's easy to see how much oil is gitting caught in there.
Some people will use those air compressor filters fer this sort of setup but I want to keep it basic.
What's yer thoughts?
