was curious.... anyone running an oil seperator? noticed a lil oil consumtion... i pull pcv out of lower intake and realize a bit of oil there. Ive heard of aftermarket intakes n there higher vaccumm could possibly cause this. A budddy tells me its a wet motor !! any ideas

Under the PCV valve is a wire screen. If it cloggs, oil will get sucked into the inake through the PCV valve like a straw. Remove and clean, or buy a new one.

Not sure what a "wet" motor is.

If your motor has alot of blow by, its going to suck/burn oil, no matter what you do.

I made my own:

Air /water separator $11.00+ two 1/4 NPT 90 degree 3/8" opening brass fittings $5.00. Or one 90 degree and one straight fitting depending on how your PCV is set up.

Just splice in between PCV and intake...works great with the Eaton, I've seen this used with N/A applications also.

I'm sure you would have figured but...when the bowl is half full, empty it. You shouldn't have to empty it much with N/A applications. Good luck...
