There are commercial CCV filters put out by Parker-Hannifin.

Same basic idea.

Issue is size --- that is an awful large volume of air --- and crud.

Air compressor filters generally filter large amounts of relatively clean air.

this is an external filter with 1/2 inlet and outlet and drain was thinking of trying it and watching it every day it will hold about a pint of liquid

I think you are going to excess --- I hate to put in something has to be watched so closely.. but it will probably work.

Tip --- have a "t" plug before it, and a "blow off" so that if excess pressure builds, it can blow off the plug instead of excess pressure in the engine.

I don't want the smell or the oil drip and like the idea of having the oil out of turbo so was looking around here and found a old water serorator off a air compressor and thought it would work and if not might have to build my own out of pvc pipe. thats what I was going to do when I found the water seporator filter any way.

Here's a good thread on the CCV re-route from the 6.0 tech folder

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...-re-route.html

Might help you with some more ideas.

Bismic has done a lot of research on this subject, and unless I'm mistaken he determined that 3/4" lines would be the minimum required to avoid the possibility of pressurizing the crankcase. Hopefully he'll see this thread and add his input.

Use a minimum of 1" ID hose...both from the valve cover outlet fitting and return fitting located in the intake vent pipe. The key is the amount of pressure 8 cfms to be exact...you don't want to pop a seal and have a driveway full of oil from the leaks created by backed up pressure.
