Today I finished relocating the crankcase evac system I had made up last
year. I am using the Moroso kit with the doohickeys that mount in the
exhausp pipes to provide the suction via venturi located at the pipe. I
had plumbed 2 of th e"suckers" into one breather cap. That cap was
located on the home made oill filler tune which bolted to the old ford
mechanical fuel pump boss. I can see that it was working, maybe too
well because ther is oil in the clear hose I had installed so I could
see the action. I removed that oil filler thingy and blocked the old
fuel pump boss with a plate. I relocated the breather cap, now 2 of
them, top the valve covers with proper baffling in the valve cover. In
doing the refit, I had to remove the passenger side down pipe. But
surprise, it was really sootybut not oily at the turbo connection. At
the end of the down pipe, which protrudes throughmy air dam, it is both
sooty and Oily. Theonly thing in between on that particular pipe is the
WB O2 sensor and the evac venturi. The O2 sensor ie above the venturi so
it shouldn't haave g0otten oile dup.. sooty maybe but not oiled. I am
hoping the source of my smokiness at WOS was the evac system sucking
some oil and putting it into the really hot exhaust stream. Hoping...
