valve cover vent
Today I decided to re-rought the valve cover vent from the intake to the frame under the cab. I got done and went for a drive and noticed a lot of smoke comeing from the vent, my question is; is this common or is ther something wrong the reason for moving the line was to keep the oil resdue off thr turbo insides.

Did you turn the valve cover around to vent to the rear? I was thinking of doing this mod also, but not sure yet. How much does it smoke exactly? Only occasionally, or will I have a constant smoke cloud behind me?

powerstroke250 my truck is a 2000 with 100,000 miles. I see someone talking about turning the valve cover, is it universal or do you need to swap both, if doing this will it make it smoke less.

guys, there is housing on the valvecover that is held on by two screws, it is the housing that you take off and turn around so the ontlet is pointing to the back of the engine compartment...take a look in my gallery i have pictures of this mod

wlihntr, got a quick side note as to where you run the line to. I want to run mine down to the exhaust and put a fitting in the exhaust pipe so it will vent there, but am scared of either getting exahust back up into valve cover or creating a vacume and pulling oil out through it. can this be done.

You also need to plug the hole on the intake so it doesn't suck in crap from the engine rcompartment. HeatStroked is making a few intake manifold adapters to fix this. Also, I think he put a filter on the end of the ccv line to reduce smoke.

i saw a pict of heatstroked bracket, its sweet, but if you are not as good a fabracater as he is you can just put it in without a bracket.
