What was I calculating again? I forgot.

Unless your intake somehow changed from mine, which I doubt, you were given the right sizes.

 

I found this to work quite well...
in the electrical dept find a 1 pvc capped bushing, it fits real well. This is what would slide inside a 1" pvc pipe and cap it off.
It has a flanged end so it won't have any issues migrating in the intake.
Press fit with light slather of contact cement along with a hose clamp will put to ease anybodys concerns.

 

You gave me the size of that plug AND the size of the hose as 3/4" instead of 1". So

 

Awesome write-up!! Thank you for providing the pics. Think I will tackle this little project once I get my EGR issue(s) taken care of.

Thanks again!!

 

Has anybody just dead-ended their CCV reroute hose with a valve cover breather/filter?

 

I did. I got the Luber Finer breather filter model # BF3402 that Riggz mentioned and ended it right about under the fuel tank. I can see it working occasionally when it's cold - there's smoke coming out of it - I get a whiff now and then but it's no worse (better?) than the exhaust.

 

most if not all of the CCV reroute kits dead end under the cab or like Jim did run it to the back of the vehicle. i believe the reason bismic ran his back up the the intake was was for the vacuum to suck the gasses out of the crank case so any backed up gasses don't start mixing with the oil and contaminating it causing it to deteriorate faster. he did put a better inline filter in it to catch the oils and gunk that is in the gasses which cake up on the turbo and IC boots and piping. correct me if i'm wrong mark.

 

You are correct. I made sure that I ran the lines so that there were no "dead legs" (ie constant slope) and were large enough to avoid much pressure loss ....... hopefuly keeping the crankcase at as low of a pressure as possible. There isn't much vacuum in the intake, especially when the filters are clean, but there is some.

 

Or you could use:

A rubber expansion plug you find at a good hardware store. The kind with rubber sandwiched between two metal plates. You have a nut to tighten to squeeze the metal plates together which causes the rubber to expand, which fills the intake "hole" like a champ.

I then used a hose clamp around the outside of this to ensure it will never move.

Works for me.

I ran my 1" ID hose all the way back to just before the fuel tank. I really don't see much oil back there in the 40,000 miles (47,000 miles on truck) i've put on the truck since I've done the mod.

I can see the crankcase vapors when the sun hits the side of the truck right, and there is no wind.

I can really smell the vent after I change the oil. I use Shaeffer's 5W-40 synthetic and it is rather aromatic for the first 1,000 miles or so after the oil change.

 

That is exactly what i used to plug the mine up. Cheap at Advanced Auto Parts and works like a charm!

 

I'll throw my hat into the ring by adding the the CCV can be terminated into the exhaust. The odor/fumes will go out the tail pipe plus, as an added benefit, there may be an increase in horse power.

I used a 3/4" slip PVC Plug and a hose clamp, no epoxy needed.
I routed the exhaust tube under the stock air box. Poked the 1" tube just under the zoodad opening and installed a chrome 1" CCV filter/vent that was used on the old Chevy 350 valve cover. The intake will slightly draw the stinky exhaust from the crank case when running, I am confident that the filter element I purchased will catch the oil residue.
Just another experiment on re-routing the CCV exhaust.

 

Does anyone have good pics of this and what filters and stuff they have used recenlty? Wanting to do this on my 03 6.0. but would like to have some pics to go off of as to which hoses go where and why. All I see are red X's in this thread.

 

Sorry I didn't renew that domain name. Here are the pics:

 

very nice pics riggz!
