What is todays consensus of CCV mod..

Good or Bad?

How is it possible that people says,"CCV mod made my seals leak",when theres no CCV in IH applications..?

Basicly all older diesels has fumes vented to athmosphere.

 

People say a lot of stupid **** and always will... Some people still believe the Earth is flat...

My preference is to leave the CCV in tact even when I run the Borg Warner SXE turbo. I do enough modifications to my truck without have to do any of the questionable ones. I only say this because I do not want to keep track of another catch can or oil drip because I am lazy.

Well done sir, looks like a professional job as always!

 

Because there is a difference between "CCV Mod" versus "No CCV".

As to the first question, there is no consensus on CCV mods, because there are so many different iterations and variations of CCV Mods.

Some are Good. Some are Bad.

 

If i may correct my self,both 7.3 and t444e has CCV.
But in 7.3 CCV is recirgulated.
No CCV means leaking seals for 100%

 

I gave up on that tube because I couldn't get it to work. So the question is, if it was meant for the T444E and our motor is similar, why are the tabs that the OP cut off there?

Also, it is getting frustrating to always have leak spots on the floor so at some point, I will revert back to the recirculated system or have to install a catch can. I really don't like to have leaks that I have to identify in case there is another leak. IOW, I don't want 2 leaks.

 

It goes without saying that the crankcase is vented.

Your first use of "No CCV" semantics was understood well enough, where "No CCV" meant road draft tube, without recirculation or filtration of crankcase blow by gasses.

Using your revised semantics, where you now say that "No CCV" means no ventilation whatsoever (as in completely closed crankcase), your original question has no answer, because IH did not build the T444e with "No CCV" as your second definition implies.

International did build the T444e with road draft tubes, which are open to atmosphere without restriction. In this instance, there is no restriction for the vent port, and thus, the pressure within the crankcase that would otherwise want to push past seals is relieved by open vent, that is likely terminated under the truck by design, such that the frontal area of the truck in motion creates a pressure differential that supplies the slight vacuum that is ideal for the management of blow by. A slight vacuum is key, so the manner in which the tube is terminated is of interest.

Restating your question: "How is it possible that people says,"CCV mod made my seals leak",when there's no CCV (recirculation) in IH applications..?"

The answer remains the same. There is a vast variety of differences between the various "CCV Mods" that people come up with, versus the road draft tube that International used, on an IH chassis (not a pickup) where No CCV (recirculation) occurs.

i shall file this mod along with rolling coal in my “why the .gov is actively working to taking away our diesel trucks. what benefit could this mod possibly give a person that is worth the purposeful pollution it creates ? even if the tiny amount each truck makes the ammunition it gives the “climate change” zealots is exactly why our rights to buy diesel trucks is being eroded.

other then that, great job of retrofitting a long lasting pollution pipe.

 

Im with you.
for the money that said expensive pipe cost why not fit a catch can? Be about the same money. Probably easier to install too

 

forget it.

 

How much is the catch can? Decent ones are triple digits.

 

Not sure about over there but I can pick up a Provent 200 over here for $150 aussie money. In the grand scheme of things that is cheap to do it properly and not have oily smelly **** go everywhere and also leading to people bitching and moaning about it. If you dont think it does you are kidding yourself.

 

IIRC, it is over $150 if you really want a good one instead of something looking like a beer can with steel wool. My only concern is whether I want the oily stain on the driveway which makes diagnosis of a leak much harder. As to other people bitching and moaning, well, I'm reminded of the story of The Old Man, The Boy and the Donkey.
