Thank you for any information you can provide.Ĭlick to expand.Sorry to hear about the blowout. 3 quarts in only 30 miles were lost, and oil was sprayed from the valve cover all the way over to my DISA, and my hood was even coated in some oil. I believe pressure built up inside of my crankcase and blew out the valve cover gasket.
My lines are shorter than yours to my oil catch can (mine is where my old SAP used to be) and I placed the PCV on the crankcase side just before the catch can. Oil was everywhere, and I lost 3-4 QUARTS of oil.ĭo you guys think I used too small of a PCV valve? Do you think I could get away without a PCV valve? I don't fully understand the PCV valve function without a turbo that pressurizes the intake. I took my car out after installing everything, and after warming up the engine over 20 miles or so I ran through the gears a couple of times. I put a PCV I found at Autozone in it with unknown flow/intended use. I have an M54, and recently put a catch can in place. Hello, I wanted to reply in order to get some information for my catch can setup. Make sure the hoses are sat tight to avoid vacuum leaks.

Clean of all dirt and burrs and install the hoses. I cut the flex pipe parts off, leaving only the thick-walled quick disconnect pieces for further use. To simplify the install I used the original connectors from the CCV hoses. German Auto Solutions repair kit is a marvel worth every penny (but there will take lots of them). I caught mine just before the failure with its pin travelling into the guts of the intake manifold and further. While you are at it, spend 10 minutes to remove DISA and check if its mechanism is good. If you are really lazy or in a rush, then just chop off the hoses as indicated and plug off the dipstick outlet. Ĝut off or break the plastic hoses to the CCV body. Remove the intake, MAF and the throttle. There are dozens of perfectly documented procedures already, just search them. Heavy duty heat shrink boot for electrical connections.Ħ. with this psi rating the hose is stiff enough to prevent flattening with vacuum.ĥ. Oil-resistant 3/4" & 3/8" 250 psi hoses (5ft of each in case you have botched a piece and need to recut them). Negatives - it is made of plastic, too small volume, questionable drainage design.Ģ. vertically challenged, put the vehicle on ramps. And even if you crash the bulb, it still works.Īnd finally, unless you have some super-strong back muscles or are really errrr….

A regular portable 110V light with a 60W equivalent LED bulb is cheap and very effective. And I cannot overstress the importance of good lighting.
It may look scary before you commence, but all it really takes is patience. The oil catch can and a PCV valve introduced into the CCV circuit.ġ.Ğliminate a failure point that can cause complete engine break-down.Ģ.Ğliminate water vapor and gunk from lubrication systemģ.Ğliminate or substantially decrease engine oil consumption. While this and other BMW forums contain multiple descriptions of CCV delete procedure, I failed to find any really clear step-by-step ones.Ģ.Ědditional maintenance work "while you are there" - as required.ģ.
In certain parts of the world and in certain times the design of this kind would be considered sabotage. To add salt to injury, the worst failures happen in sub-zero temps when you really need your machine to be reliable. What is worse, its failure causes some serious damage to the whole engine. Original BMW design of the Crank Case Ventilation (CCV) device is extremely inefficient and failure-prone device.
