JLT Oil Seperator

You guys need to read up on how a PCV system works. Once you do that, you'll understand why it's only pulling from one side.

I received my new bracket Monday, and installed it Tuesday. The hardest part was putting the cover back on top of the motor. Although not in the directions, I used red Loctite, to attach the to M4 screws to the can. Everything about this kit seems heavy duty except for the 2 attaching tiny screws. In fact if I read it right the hoses are rated at 3,000 lb! That's some serious Overkill there.

Got a favorite PCV For Dummies source? Maybe I could have tried harder...

Another way to look at it is the engine will be more efficient with a can. It will be ingesting clean air and fuel only. No un burnt by products from the crankcase which does nothing for performance.

You know what amazes me is all the years I rode motorcycles back in the late 60's early 70's, when cars/trucks used draft tubes before pcv valves, that I never slipped and fell. Back then the majority of cars running around were from the 50's, and 60,s. Pcv valves didn't start till around 1961, later for a lot of manufacturers. The draft tubes released a bit of oil straight down on the roadway. Even staying out of the middle of the road through a turn, basically cars, and trucks were literally painting the roadways with oil.

My Can has been catching mainly oil and not much noticeable moisture. I’m not sure exactly why. It is being cold started in my garage mostly, and possibly the media in the can that filters/separates the oil from the water vapor is different than that of the JLT cans. It’s never been milky coming out.

Looks more like chocolate milk or dark hot chocolate, not oil on my truck.

Top was last week, bottom 1000 miles before that.

No moisture is a good thing right?

In the warmer weather mine is just oil, in the winter it is a mix with water...

The only possible problem I see with the cans that don’t separate the oil and the water vapors is that they could freeze overnight when left not drained. My RXP Can just has a ball valve drain on the bottom of the can and doesn’t unscrew apart. I was told by the manufacturer that it has some kind of steel media inside the can. I’m guessing it’s something like steel wool that somehow wicks the oil out of the vapors and let’s the water vapor through to be burned off. I’ve never even seen a hint of water come out of mine yet..... emulsified in the oil or even straight water. Straight unmixed water would be the first to trickle out of the drain when I open it because of it being heavier than oil, but not a drop.
