CCV Smoke

I have done the CCV mod on my e99 f250 and i noticed today that the fumes coming out of the hose i routed to the rear of the truck seems to have some smokish tint to it. This is to anyone who has this mod. How much smoke is the ccv mod supposed to have. I can see a whiteish tint to the fumes coming from my hose. Should it be clear and hardly no tint to it, or should it have somewhat of a tint?

Sounds about right.. The smell will change according to what oil you run.

Yep, it's normal for it to puff a small amount (or a bunch depending on the condition of your motor) of rather stinky white to gray colored smoke.

It's only bad when you have it puffing like a train. It will pulse, but if you have one or two bad cylinders, it will puff big time... Here's what mine looks like:

Joe,

Is yours normal? Or is that an example of two bad cylinders?

That's normal. It he had a bad cylinder it would have blown the cap off when he set it on there.

Yeppers -- that's a normal CCV venting. If it weren't, one would really chug blowing a big puff and throwing the cap up off the oil filler neck.

I told the guy that and he wanted to argue the point, I just jumped in the truck and left. He had me alittle nervous about the fact, had to ask here.
