Question for you MB diesel techs. Currently I have removed the crossover tube, EGR assembly and the black plastic valve cover cover. In glancing at the CCV system, I can see that I can easily reroute the CCV vent tube from getting back into the intake tract. There is a CCV valve right on top of the opening coming out of the head.
I want to run some heater hose right after the CCV valve, running forward toward the front of the head and out of the side opening [turbo's have this opening utilized to blow out CCV gases right before the turbo], and run it to the ground outside. Turbos I assume can utilize this in order to keep the turbine lubed. Stock routing of the CCV on my non-turbo lets it run right to the opening at the end of each intake runner per cylinder.

When reading previous threads I made the assumption that leaving the CCV system as is helped lube the resonance flaps in the intake system. Under futher examination the resonance flaps are way before the CCV gases even reach them, offering no assitance in lubrication.

MY focus for considering this effort is in affect to aid keeping my air intake tract clean and utilizing my latest mod of allowing the EGR valve to draw fresh air. In addition I like to keep the top of my engine clean from all the oil that accumulates due to the CCV valve
