Powell Oil separator/PCV relocate
Anyone running a Powell oil separator that cleaned their valves and has an idea of what they look like now? I'm about to pick one of these up and I'm definitely interested in long time users. And how to plumb it? I haven't seen the whole kit just most of it but until I disassemble the packaging and see everything I'm just trying to get an idea of how complicated it is. Thanks!

k ill explain. the intake manifold line goes to the bottom port on separator via the supplied tee. the other end of the tee goes to the port on the valve cover that is on the passenger side. the stock port will have to be removed and it will have to be tapped 1/8 npt. use grease on the tap so that the shavings don't fall into the cover. best way I found to get stock fitting out is grab it with vice grip and hit vice grip with a hammer while holding on to it of course.
the top port of the separator goes to the port on the turbo. and obviously the port on the bottom of the separator will go to the new dipstick fitting.

Why did u take it off to tap it? No need, just use grease on the tap, even if u do take it off u can't get shavings out from the backside if they fall in, they are in there for good. U screw the 1/8 npt to an6 fitting in the tapped hole. Use liquid Teflon or some kinda dealer on the fitting threads
