Sure, you can absolute reduce emissions through tuning. But there is no egr system. It's not a diesel it has cats.

You are clueless my friend.

Absolutely!   What people are thinking is oil condensate is fuels dilution. Use a better oil, tune your engine up.  Generally only  need for blow-by capture or catch cans are racing entities who have

No, amazingly you are. And at somepoint down the road when it all clicks your going to turn beat red.

Not unfiltered to environment. 

Your getting a little nit-picky here. 

 

With the engine off, the only "gate keeper" separating the intake tract from ambient air is a fibrous air filter intentionally designed for the allowance of air to pass through.  The air filter does not exclusively segregate moisture from the air and therefore the air filter is not acting as a moisture check valve.

 

We're starting to split hairs and egos are diluting what could be a good knowledge base for others.  Fortunately though, great side-bar information is being tossed around here so hopefully this topic doesn't go off the rails.

It's Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It gets reintroduced to the combustion chamber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Correct via PCV system you said does not exist :    6.2L 

 

  • PCV-integrated rocker covers: new domed rocker covers house a patent-pending integrated positive crankcase ventilation system that enhances oil life, reduces oil consumption and reduces exhaust emissions. The domed sections of the covers contain baffles that separate oil and air from the crankcase gases, with about three times the oil/air separation capability of previous engines.

Not ego but fact.  Our friend Mickey state there is unfiltered air coming in via crankcase vents thats not positive. Just getting facts correct.

Wow, finally you go to Google. Please spend a lot more time on there before commenting again.

I said no such thing, anywhere. Wth are you even talking about.

 

Any pcv hose connects to the intake tube post filter.

Condensation forms from humidity in the air. The pcv system is open to the atmosphere, it's pulls air into the crankcase as well as venting excess pressure.

 

I don't disagree with you stating moisture getting past the rings, along with fuel. But the amount of water created by combustion is minimal, otherwise we'd all have steam cleaned piston tops.

 

The condensation build up in the can Im refering to, happens when the engine is not in operation.

 

You can take a look and see a little bit of coffee in the can right after you shut it off. The next morning you'll have some milk with your coffee.

 

 

 

 

Reminder of what started this Mickey.

Wow.  This is fun.  But I'm confused.  It really sounds like you're both saying that a Catch Can is NOT helpful, but for different reasons?  Or does one of you think that it is useful?  Just so that I can follow a little better.

 

Thanks!

So your telling me that you think the filter keeps out atmospheric pressure?

I VOTE NOT USEFUL but not because Mickey and others are confused and keep doubling in and out on that  by sharing that there is unfiltered air with of water vapor coming into crankcase system from outside the engine via intake or associated vents. 

 

Circling back if the engine is well tuned and properly maintained the need for a catch can is a waste of money.

You've outright failed to address my question regarding where your getting this idea if unfiltered air.

 

Own up to error like a man, or continue to throw around baseless words attempting to confuse everyone and paint the appearance that you know what your talking about.

 

I don't know what engine you have, but get off your ass and go look under the hood of your truck. Because I can tell your not even able form a picture in your head if what it actually looks like.

 

You can and are turning this into misinformation. Everything you've stated clearly indicates you don't have a clue if how your truck even operates.

 

Please continue. I'll wear the idiot crown if it will shut you up. But know your not hurting me, only yourself.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
