I would personally like to thank TheMan for yet another importan info find for the Protege community.

http://www.clubprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7782

I just ordered this PCV Valve, and will pick it up tomorrow. (thumb)

EDIT: Here are the pictures:

This is a very easy install that takes less than 5 minutes (even less for those of you without the plastic valve cover).

Here is the comparison below between the Supercharged Millenia PCV Valve on the left, and the stock Protege PCV Valve on the right:

And here it is installed in the stock location. A DIRECT FIT!!!

looks nice, tell us how it turns out. Keep up the good work Linux. And don't worry, with all this hard work and guinea pigging you do, you will have the nicest and fastest MP3 out eventually.

SO you gotta get this PCV and a oil catch can like what paulmp3 used? Hook it up Linux and let us know.(thumb)

Ya...TheMAN kicks ass.

Here is an example of what 500KM of driving produces through the PCV (I just did this mod on the weekend).... Next step will be to keep this setup with the new found "TheMAN" PCV to see if/how much oil blows through.

The setup was using a $5 fuel filter....

If the valve works as TheMAN says it will...you won't need a catch can....

I thought he said something about needing one on the other valve cover vent?

I ran a similar filter on the valve cover side for 1.5 months...and NOTHING...no oil.

In the turbo Fords this has been tried. After some time the filter did get clogged. We run more boost in them then the Protege. So we cget more crankcase pressure. The paper filter is not good in oil. I can make a small breather with a drain if someone want to try it out. It would stop most of the oil from going into the intake tubing.



Thanks again


Later.......Nick

Just to expand my product knowledge What does PCV stand for and what is its purpose? I think after knowing more about why we have then I can understand the need for a solution like these.

I did register, and I get this:

What is the title of the thread? I'll do a search.
