CDR Source?
Where is a the best place to get a CDR? I took mine off and did a blow test and all was good. I soaked it in gas for an hour, gently agitating it and it no longer works. Very black oil drained from the weep hole. After 2 hours of draining I could not get to to function properly.
It is a 94 NA with 240k and the engine is using a quart of oil every 150-200 miles. I do not see blow by when the oil cap is off. With this much oil consumption I would like to have the "engine run away" protection the CDR is providing.
Is there a baffle available to precipitate some of the oil from the crank case gases and drain it back to the sump? $4 diesel is bad enough, $16 oil is too expensive for fuel. There are no visible oil leaks and the engine runs fine. Are there other places it could be loosing oil?

The CDR isn't going to really stop gasses; it just prevents sucking a little.
Considering you're NA, there isn't much in the way of vacuum, so it really doesn't do a whole lot, and the gasses won't run the engine enough to make any difference -- it takes a turbo seal failing and pouring oil down the intake to get a runaway situation.
You can come up with an oil/air separator if you want; I made one out of a piece of 6"x4" ABS pipe filled with fiber filter material; let the oil drain out of the bottom into a bottle(with a drain hose) and then I empty that bottle when it gets full.
It's captured a lot, but it's a lot easier to make that setup when you've a turbo... and it means a lot more.
I'm thinking you may need to run that engine hot a few times; apparently that can help oil consumption as the carbon gets cleaned off the cyl walls.

I just bought mine 6 weeks ago, and the cheapest I could find was on Official Ford Parts Site | Buy Motorcraft & OEM Ford Parts Online | FordParts.com . Probably cheaper elsewhere, but I couldn't figure it out. They delivered it to the dealer so I didn't have to pay for shipping.
