Have you encountered a crankcase oil smell with the oil cap filter.I just installed mine and I am getting this nauseated oil smell plus soot residue on the rear splash guards/quarter panels and rear end. Is this common with this filter installed.

This kind of ties into a Catch Can. I bought an RX CC and was thinking about doing this breather, but from hearing people on this forum and one of the guys in our club who had their rear main seal start to leak after installing the breather has made me think twice about getting it. However, I am not sure if RX has re-engineered the valves in the breather or CC to prevent this from occuring.

You really should check your fuel trims as well. Even with the check valve, it does change them by a few percent.

if installed correctly there can be no leaks......with over 10,000 of these sold and installed in every type of application possible we have no issues, but some have hooked them up backwards and had issues.
With a V8 you may need to T both the valley cover vent and the rear of the drivers side valve cover if the fixed orfices have become clogged due to gunk build-up. And yes, the RX flow controlling checkvalved breather will still alter the short term fuel trims a few percent but way within the acceptable parameters where an open breather will skew all over the place. |
