2012 5.0 Smokes

[BruceH]

What bugs me about it the most is this was the next step in fords diagnosis. Why not just save everyone the hassle and replace the part, besides there is a tsb for it. I guess now I can start the future plans for it.

Supercharger?

No but FI is in the plans. Im going to start with billet tss oil pump gears.

Lito, I verified that I do indeed have vacuum going through the pcv valve.

Since replacing the pcv valve the car hasnt smoked once. I haven't had to add oil, which is nice. The car is running much better. All over a 17$ part.

Glad to hear man.

Outstanding!

BTW, we should be back out in April for some more runs. Will let you know when.

Good deal, I plan to get some track seat time in very soon.

Hot damn James! I'm so glad this has worked out your issue! I'm seriously thinking of ordering one even though I don't have this problem. Better to be safe than sorry. Do you have the P/N handy?

Well I checked the oil today and its still full. Jlt oil seperator still barely has any oil in it. I've been driving it pretty hard these last 2 weeks, I wanted to see if it would burn oil, none as of now. It's a joy to drive again.

I'll be ordering one as soon as I can. I'm trying to get my Ebay account working again.



Edit: Looks like I can get it from Rockauto.

Good stuff man. I may go ahead and put one on for a little insurance.

Congrats James.

Thanks Guys. Lund's tune and Tom's (vtxfrank) c&l racer cai make it so much more fun to drive.

Glad you got it worked out. I wonder why all the cars aren't effected like yours was? Do you think if you would have replaced the PCV with another 5.0 one it would have fixed the problem?

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Im not sure, i chose the route that seemed to fix other cars that had the similar problem. I have a friend at work that is going to flow test both valves when i go back and see exactly what the differences are. That wont be soon since im out again because of a knee injury.

Glad you got it figured out. Anxious to see your future mods and gains.
