The reasoning is for hard turns, but it's not just

That is why you run a filterd PVC system (n/m)

AzHeat
10:41:52 02/16/07
that is why you do a reroute (n/m)

Guapo
10:46:24 02/16/07
how much does oil compress? (n/m)

So the catch can is not connected to anything?

Woody75 (Denver)
08:13:27 02/16/07
Why would the engine need to be out for reroute? (n/m)
-
AzHeat
10:38:19 02/16/07
It doesn't. Just makes it easier. (n/m)
-
Guapo
10:49:07 02/16/07
Explain? PVC system is all on top of the engine.
