617 Oil Separator Catch Can Concept:
 

I'm very interested to know if anyone has experimented with this...Robert

aside from the one built into the .951/952 engine's air filter, I have seen several that emulate the late model 240 cans... ebay has a few items too. maybe build a siphon into the turbo oil return line...

All you need to do is make a pipe with an inlet, outlet and oil drain, put some stainless steel kitchen scrubbers inside and you've got one! Anything that will spin the vapors to the walls (like stock) or has a large contact surface area will work.

Or you could just run a vent pipe to the ground like every non-car diesel on the road.

My "new to me' 85 Euro TD has a steel flex pipe welded directly into the "header' pipe as an " Oil Separator";)

heh, that's the way it is in my 68 camaro race car...

I spoz if you had a real "oil burner" you'd lay down quite a smoke cloud with such a set up:eek::D

Intake or exhaust ? if its the intake aren't you now loosing boost through said pipe and pressurizing the valvecover?

exhaust, he's talking about a siphon tube inserted into the exhaust to pull crankcase vapors out the tailpipe.

So, there is a factory type oil separator available, or, did I read that wrong?????

yeah the 617 has it built into the air filter.

One could have a small tank of used lub oil and be able to discourage tail gaters with the push of a button, the folks over on the Dodge/Cummins forum are big on that sort of thing.:D

I plumbed mine into frame,to repel rust.Does not lose that much oil.

ForcedInduction had a nice homemade setup. He had a picture of it posted here at one time. I'm guessing it's gone.

Hmmm...I've never seen anything like that on my 617.950 air cleaner....later variants have this???? That should take care of the little drips of oil that come out of the wastegate vent from time to time..

yup, all .951,2 (82 and later turbo models, and all 126SD's have it)
