I'm just a guy in Kansas playing around in his garage. Come along in my adventures riding, racing, modifying and repairing my small fleet of unusual misfits.
Hey Jake, i know you are going through some shit, Just popping in here to say that at least 1 random dude in South Africa thinks you are the best automotive youtuber, keep doing what you do mate.
Ayy I'm from South Africa too!
Me too! Happy to see SA representing 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 And I agree - great automotive channel!
"it's like a rap album, I don't know what hos I have" 😂😂😂 I can't wait for this channel to hit critical mass and people appreciate you more jake
New drinking game: take a shot every time Jake says "PCV valve"
I will be in A&E by now haha
Oh I know what you’re feeling when you are trying to remove the plastic parts without breaking them ! As I watch your video, I get that nightmare feeling of breaking the intake !
Use shrink tubing when you do that it can break down the glue and suck the electric tape in
I'm curious about how wearing three baseball caps at once contributes to the solution. Just kidding. Thanks for the video!
Stabbing with screwdriver is a critical step in almost any automotive repair.
You get what you paid for... in this case, a more reliable engine part.
It's a win anytime you can repair your car with a $2 part!
I always knew Jake was a man that wears many hats...
That's not bad , you should see the PVC system on Volvo's. Unbelievable!
Looks like you need a vented oil cap from a 1950 chevy to complete the modification.
"The little things" it's the small things in life you treasure.
3 hat Jake. Nice job, and yes they are jubilee clips 😉
I would put a clamp on the dip stick mod.
Clamps with constant tension are usually better to use
Probably the best 'mod' you can do to these!
Love your videos especially the ZHP ones… Keep em coming!
That vacuum seems excessive. The valve cover should be modded to provide a calibrated leak, with the inlet plumbed to the air filter housing. Alternatively, a PCV valve with a smaller flow rate could be used...Though a clean air inlet needs to be incorporated into the valve cover regardless.
Stuttgart? Munich! 😆
The mayo in the ccv system is caused by humidity in the engine natural in bmw engines
That much crankcase vacuum might damage the rear main seal. That has happened to my engine. But other than that it helps oil rings stay on cylinder walls, which improves oil consumption.
Back in the day, my 1967 Ford vented its crankcase fumes to the atmosphere via a catch can (of sorts) which is no longer deemed an acceptable approach. These days the engine consumes these fumes via the intake and combustion process which sadly leads to carbonisation. Any tinkering with the PCV/CCV system would fail the mandatory annual test where I live.
my 72 Ford isn’t like that so I wonder when the cut off was, that’s unfortunate, wonder what state you live in…
@@TravisClan 1967 LOL
After stabbing myself with a screwdriver at least once every time I tighten those clamps, I now reach for a nut driver.
Plastic valve covers & excessive vacuum seems sketchy. Keep an eye on it & good luck. I had to replace one on mine and it was not cheap.
All right, Jake! Very cool---
Love your videos, keep it up!!!
the BMW turbo diesel in my Lincoln has that sort of catch can / drain thing, but there is no vacuum to it. No manifold vac on a diesel, it vents back to the turbo inlet so basically it slimes the entire intake track with oil vapor. Can't fit a PCV because the vacuum pump is under the valve cover so anything that pulls out of the crankcase would dump back into the crankcase. Basically it just sucks and there isn't much to be done about it.
German engineers seem completely in capable of designing a proper PCV system. Either it sucks all the oil out, or it blows out seals because of excessive pressure
CCV = crank case ventilation
Always interesting, always entertaining. Thanks Jake and keep up the good work !!
I would almost think running that much vacuum through a catch can might be a solid choice As it would be easier to Check on how much oil is being pulled into the system
Pressure jake, the blowby pressurizes the crank case...the pistons have to fight this....loosing hp. over pressure main seals ...blowout....ccv crank case ventilation
Best video in months and months! Had to look up "Jank", lol. Perfect word selection.
Postive Crankcase Ventilation = PCV
My Passat has the PCV system inside the valve cover and VW only sells the whole valve cover for a small fortune. I bought the replacement diaphragm for 10 bucks but now in order to replace it I need to put the car in VW service mode to remove the intake manifold and access the valve cover. What a pain just to fix the PCV
when i was a tech at toyota the 2.4 oil consumption was a bigger deal back then. capacity...4.3qts of oil oil change interval 5000 miles oil consumption ....1qt every 1000 miles is considered normal do the math.....yes, avoid the toyota 2.4L at all costs.
Yuup. I had one. First gen Scion tC. Very happy to be rid of it.
@@100PercentJake oddly a friend bought a first year TC and he never had an issue with it, took it to 100k miles. but i did see lots of these 2.4 motors with tamper seals on the oil cap and filter for testing.
Cool fix!
CCV = Crank Case Vent. Same thing as PCV, just slightly different wording similar to how BMW says DME (Digital Motor Electronics) instead of ECU (Engine Control Unit) or ECM (Engine Control Module).
Did the exact same thing on my e53 m54. Pretty easy mod. Deletes the stupid CCV system. This mod is very useful in colder climates. Because ccv likes to freeze up
I have read the vacuum that creates can burn through gaskets.
Ingenious!!!
Just from the noise it was making I said that sounds like a PCV valve! ;-)
Awesome man!! One other thing you have to remember if an engineer designs something to their specs good luck working on it lol. It’ll need to be sent away to be worked on even for oil changes 🤣
Good stuff 👍.
A Toyota that’s bad , say what! Wearing a lot of hat’s today ehhh!😝🇺🇸
I’m about to do this now I think mine when out I changed everything else Completely fuel system and spark plugs an coils I hope this works
Pulling that kind of vacuum will only end in failed intake gaskets.
neat project - there is a similar kit out there for the chevy cruze if your buddy with the cruze would want to try that.
Crank Case Ventilation, Positive Crankcase Ventilation
Hey Elliott!
cool video
It's the Steam Pipe Trunk Distribution Venue
It seems like it should be ok 👌 if it works it works 💪
Love you man 😁❤️🔥
sounds like my gfs rav4, I don't do oil changes on it, I just add 4 qts of oil every 3000 miles.
what about the oil filter?
@@amammes she takes one for the team
Nice
honestly, I wouldn't know this repair happened unless you told me it happened
Just know you'll never be 3 hat Jake cool.
Hmmm 🤔 replaced unreliable bmw parts with known unreliable chevy part 😛😛 Love it 😝
How did it work any news ?
Yeah... That's bad. No sense in trying to re-engineer a crankcase ventilation system on an M5X engine. Just replace the valve and hoses and leave the sketchy stuff behind. This bandaid fix might get you driving again, temporarily- if you remedied a vacuum leak, but do spend the extra little bit on parts and do it right.
As an air/oil separator system the CCV works okay, it's just stuffed in a inconvenient location so a lot of people neglect or delay CCV maintenance.
you should by an e30 or e34 :)
Pie highed jake
Just wondering what BMW forum you gleaned this mod from??
Hi Jake..wondering how does it goes with the pcv mods..any negative cause after using it?
May I introduce our musical selection by the band Men Without Hats? Thought not.
Is that for real? 257k+ miles. Has this engine ever been rebuilt?
my 2003 330i likes to smoke plumes of what smells like burning oil when i get above 4k RPM, and will smoke for a minute or so then if I drive easier then it will soon be gone, is that a failing CCV? I've removed my oil cap and it pulls a slight vacuum when the engine is running, and not excessive pressure like a lot of other videos show being a failing CCV. my new spark plugs have oil on the tips and also using a scope shows my cylinders are covered in carbon. My other symptoms are terrible mileage (13 MPG) a scavenging idle when cold/misfire when cold, but after a few seconds gets back to sounding about right, along with my idle sometimes spiking up a few hundred when coming to a stop.
I believe I would use an sized orifice and catch can to complete the system. possibly a valve with a smaller cfm.
Hi, where can i contact you about the sponsorship?
I like the hat thing. Is that French or something?
Not enough hats
Is there a ghost in your garage?
Constant Crankcase Velocity
Not German engineering, It's Bavarian. Big difference
So what you are saying is...the car sucks a lot now? You heard it here first folks. Jake says the BMW sucks a lot.
First?
German engineering is why new BMW’s are great and old ones are scrap or crap.
