7M "Ventilation Hose"
- Thread starter stevenr816
- Start date
Ew, the SOHC version. IIRC the vent is under the intake manifold (machined into the flat spot on the side of the block)
IJ.;1740206 said:Care to explain how when it has a distributor in that hole?
thats a 4me there mr ian
but if i remmeber right.......... bean a long time since i have scene one they had vent hose I think they had one leading from the vavle cover to the block but it been so long so i am not sure i chould be wroung
franlky i have one scene 2 in my life
pooldes that flt spot was another loction for the mecanical fuel pump on the 3m

IIRC I've recently read that 4m have lot off flow in the heads, and that fresh oil can be suck by the PCV system. On solution is to put a buffer can in PCV line with a drain from that to the crankcase. Another solution is to switch the heads cover (oil filling cap on the right side of the car).
It's maybe why there is such an hose on earlier engines.

My bad
For sure now what I've read was for DOHC engine. BTW, fresh fuel can be sucked by PCV on some engines, and the trick I've told is a fact
I think the hose described in this subject is for oil high flow purpose..
Talked to rich. Instead of plugging everything I'm gonna cap the cover and put a filter on the block just in case there's any pressure

You don't see a need to reduce sludge from the crankcase? That system doubled the life of the engine when it came out. 100,000 became the norm for engine life like it was no big deal. Rethink your position. The system evolved from a road draft tube to rerouting to the intake manifold for pollution reasons.

We (Yanks) went from the 4ME to the 5MGE, I think. We also didn't have the 6M.
How?Poodles;1740375 said:
So your saying i should cap both and just run The vents on the valve covers?
More info would be nice instead of alittle bate
Its a drag car and weekend cruiser so there will be hardly any miles. It is just super hard to run -12 AN on the vent hose on top of -12 on the fuel rail.Nick M;1740369 said:
That hose (12263) puzzled me as well. I couldn't see a use for it other than to maybe push the altenator into the fan.. it just didnt make sense. Plus.. its a PITA because mine was leaking a bit of oil and was ugly.
I am redoing my 7MGE right now and will be doing the 7MGTE next year. I just want to confirm.. I am a "thumbs-up" on deleting this hose right? (would make the engine a tiny bit easier to work on.. lol)

There is a way to make it all nice and pretty.
Could also just use a smaller hose than deleting it. Smaller hose might make it fit in there easier.

Dedicated drag cars often use a crankcase vacuum. To lower pressure against rotation of the crank. There is no reason not to vent the crankcase.

Or a Header Evac system, no PVC at all is going to result in massive blowby effects followed by it pushing the Dipstick out then the front and rear main seals...
Those STUPID Cam cover filters Oil soak in hours then become so restrictive they barely flow air through them and spit oil over the engine bay..
IJ & Nick - I'm running -8 on both covers to a catch can, then going to a pan evac. Do you think this is enough? what should I do with the vent hose, block it, throw a filter on the block, or find a way to route it.
Pan Evac?
Into the downpipe?
Does the car have mufflers?
I just replicated the stock system in my car adding a catch can and a real PCV valve.
