Did this install this week. Was going to go with Provent, but this was cheaper (i live in Canada, EVERYTHING is triple the cost compared to the USA for auto parts).
Did the EHM months ago, but didn't like the driveway art nor the moisture billowing from the tube in front of the police. (they do vehicle inspections here)
the box
opening my new $240 CDN present to myself
contents: machined unit, hose (too small for this application) clamps, etc
universal measuring unit next to catch can
simple design, unscrew to drain (one COULD drill a hole and thread it for a drain cock and hose
the stainless mesh and baffle plate
brass hardware (too small (3/8") for the CRD's 3/4" CCV hose application)
bracket and machined clamp
expensive aluminum anodized fittings
INSTALL PICS
replaced the CCV a while back - even with NEW o rings it leaked still, past the o rings. So i fixed that by using the nitrile / butyl orange o rings that come on the HEADLAMP bulb assemblies. PERFECT snug fit (they are softer) and they handle the heat and oil just fine, over 20,000km's on them.
oil resistant hose (3/4" id) mounted to the "vanity cover" stud with a rubber and steel clamp
MOROSO air/oil separator unit mounted to the alt bracket tab with a piece of stainless angle
I didn't use the steel bracket that the unit came with, its direct mount to the steel angle bracket
easy to access the unit to unscrew the cup to drain it
the hose that exits from the MOROSO unit is currently routed down to the underside of the truck. It still smells of crankcase fumes and the moisture is still somewhat visible so i plan to run that hose INTO a custom air dryer unit, one that is full of silica beads (cat litter section in the pet store)...the silica absorbs moisture rapidly and locks it away. I plan to somehow heat the air dryer unit so the trapped moisture is burned off.
OR
I may also drill and tap the intake manifold (away from the MAP sensor) and return the vent hose from the MOROSO unit to the intake manifold.
hope some of you can use this idea, its about a 20 minute install including bracket fabbing
