CCV re-route documentation - COMPLETE
I finally finished the pics of my CCV re-route and installation of my new/improved PVC vapor trap.
I even caught a shot of the smoke exiting the hose at idle.

There's nothing wrong with asking questions. Last year this time I had no idea what a CCV mod was either. Glad to have you as a member of our forum.
The CCV mod keeps vents oily gasses out of your engine and to the atmosphere. The stock set up is a closed system and it routes the gasses into the intake tract to the turbo. These gasses are then pushed through your intercooler where they gunk up everything. Take a look at your intercooler boots. Are they covered with an oily grime? Most likely they are and that is the result of the oily crankcase gasses being pushed through the system. Doing the CCV mod and venting to the atmosphere makes for a cleaner engine compartment and a cleaner intercooler system.

Looks really nice, Pete!!
This reminds me... I have been hearing more & more rumors about Toyota with a Cat motor. I found something really humorous by doing a little Googling:
From Wikipedia:
"Heavy Duty Diesel
Toyota Motor Corporation has been eyeing the Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 market for a while now, and they have announced that when the Tundra half-ton sales hit 200,000 units per year they will start production of a Tundra diesel. It may be called the Tundra 2500 , and the Tundra 3500 . It is speculated that Toyota will use a 6.4 liter V10 diesel that will produce anywhere from 380-420 horsepower and around 750 pound feet of torque. Motor Trend, and Car and Driver magazines have reported that production for a heavy-duty Tundra will start anywhere from late 2008 to 2010."
Then I found the part about their "D-CAT" System:
"The Toyota D-4D Clean Power concept engine is equipped with the revolutionary Toyota D-CAT (Diesel Clean Advanced Technology) package as standard. This advanced technology is already available in the Avensis model in which it produces the lowest harmful emissions (NO<sub>X</sub> and PM combined) of any modern diesel."
I think folks are getting that counfused with the Cat motor.

Ha!
Good one.
That was taken at work not too long ago. I was teaching a youngun how to weld a 4140 injection cone. I couldn't believe that a coworker with a camera was brave enough to take a pic.
They taped the pic up in the breakroom with a caption that said "Scott working.....rarely seen". I am the supervisor so every time they get a chance to take a swipe at me they do.
Ok, sorry for the hijack.
