I need the CDR bracket equiped valve cover for my 6.9 diesel. Anyone know where I can find one? I could rob that side off my 94' but I need one for that engine too . I can always cut a hole for it on the cover somewhere and attach an extension, but I don't know if that's a good idea. Anybody ever done that?

 

That's basically all the ATS valve cover is. It is bowed out a little to clear the rockers but you could easily drill a hole in the one you have and weld a pipe nipple to it and call it a day.

 

Yeah, you're right. Cheaper to. I didn't know if there was any more to the valve cover than just an outlet pipe but I guess it is a simple enough. Whatever works is fine by me.

 

There is also a little bracket welded on that the CDR bolts too. You could either fabricate that, or remote mount the CDR and do like eaton said with a pipe nipple.

Another thought is the banks kit used a piece that mounted on the IP gear cover to vent the crankcase. I think they can be found for ~$40 or so. The DIY valvecover is still cheaper.

 

I might just build that bracket so that the CDR has a place to go. Depends on how much room I'm going to have on top of that engine. And I have a few other things to do to the valve covers so maybe the gear cover would be better. Do you know where I can find the the Banks gear cover part? Maybe I'll do some searching tonight.

 

I believe you can still buy it directly from Banks. Check out their website, they still sell the whole kit for IDIs.

 

Alright, thanks. I'll go check it out.

 

The might call it something like CDR relocation kit. I got one off ebay last summer that I might end up using with a catch can/crankcase filter I might engineer and I don't think the CDR is a good setup to begin with and I'm sick of seeing oil seep out around the turbo.

 

I know what you mean. I had a talk with my engine builder a few years ago about that and he thought some carbon build up might be avoided without that oil going through the system. I will probably run mine to a filter at some point myself if only to make myself feel better about it. For a while I had a hose running mine to the ground. Why would I want fumes going back into my engine anyway? All I want is nice cool air .
