CCV Back to Stock

This is the right way right? Its been so long I cant remember.. I got it in and realized there are supposed to be 2 bolts holding it on.. On a whim I looked in this spot where I keep left over parts from my truck (AIH, bolts nuts, etc) and what do you know. I threw away the original CCV tube but kept the bolts. So that worked out.

Thanks to Brownie83 for giving me his CCV tube.

I also have the CCV reroute kit for free if anyone wants it. Send me a PM. It doesnt include O-Rings though.

A few reasons:

1) A constant stream of oily smoke was not appreciated by people around my truck (often my customers)
2) CA Smog laws prohibit it. I have 2 years before another smog, but it would have to get switched eventually.
3) I bought Riffraff intercooler boots, which should prevent seepage. So wont have to worry about that any more.

I put a valve cover breather on mine. Can get them cheap out of jegs,summit,or any hipo parts store. No smoke out of it.

Isn't the vent supposed to point downstream?

Thats what I thought. It looks wrong with the intake air going into the crank case, but the CCV tube wont fit the other way. So that has to be right...

Not correct... You will still start to get oil around the boots. Less then the stockers, but it will still be present.
