Title: taking pcv hose out?
Post by: lildevil on September 13, 2008, 09:39:27 am

and putting it into a catch can, would that mess anything up? since there is a sender at the end of the hose? or should i put a mini air filter in between the senser and the pvc? know what im talking about?

apparently that 'sender' is actually a little warmer, to make sure that the crankcase 'fluid' doesn't freeze up in there on a really cold day.

putting in a catch can would be in your best interest.

It would be worse when it`s colder out because of the engine going through heatcycles, it would have more condensation in the oil right?
