Bama: CCV MOD Pics ?

[bushpilot]

do this guy make a kit for the 7.3 also?

you dont necessarily need a "kit" for the 7.3, theres all kinds of
solutions for it....although this guys solution would work for the 7.3 too.

the 7.3 guys have been ccv'moding for years...they dont seem to be
as interested in recirc'ing the pressures...and plenty have vented the
oil ccv mist to the atmosphere or out the tail pipe.

Is this kit some secret or what? You guys gonna share the info?

ive asked for photos of the ccv "catch" tank from the
seller <not bama> and it would appear he's unwilling to
show the tank.

ive got the instructions but even those arent necessarily
specific to the 6.0l

this whole thing isnt that complicated, its more a matter
of finding (or making) the tank.

racor makes a nice one but its SEVERAL 100 bucks, but at
the same time the racor recirculates the "pressure" & fumes
(catching the oil)...the one that bama is using recirculates
the pressure/fumes too but i DONT think you can open it up
to change the "filter" media (like you can the racor)....but
then again its also alot cheaper than the racor.

Well, I can understand why he is reluctant to show the collection canister. I think he is trying to get a patent on his design.

His canister works on the 6.0 and the 7.3, just the way it connects off the CCV maybe different.

Below is a picture of what his collection canister looks like, mine is exactly the same, but the pic below is on a 7.3

Yes, its basically 3" sch. 40. It has a sponge type filter in it.

It is glued up on both ends, the filter never needs changing.

Before I ever saw it, it was what I had pictured in my mind.

in those photos it looks like its leaking around the hose fittings
and even the seam of the 3" pipe and caps !

Like I said, that pic is not of my canister, but it could be oil from something else, I dont know.

I was gonna say... my God... that's sewer pipe!

Other than if it's really hot, there shouldn't be any problems with that. and if done right, should be able to put the oil back in the engine.
