A catch can is the only good solution for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an hour of Dad duties while the missus gets her eyebrows done haha then off to Ford to pick up a couple of bits I ordered. Might just chuck a new PCV in anyway (as they are cheap) and the black right angled fitting looks like it is getting a crack so will do that too. Probably another full day tomorrow but I'm getting there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got caught out on that when I converted mine to turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchietey Member 84 Member For: 14y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: WA Posted 19/03/18 07:13 AM Author Share Posted 19/03/18 07:13 AM Was wondering about that. Does a factory turbo have one? I mean the PCV IS a check valve, should only allow vapour to pass under vacuum and the ball should drop inside under pressure. Does it need a check valve or maybe yours was sticky?

The stock system is fine as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept changing pcv valves and it didn't work. Called Ford and it has a one way valve in the middle of the hose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchietey Member 84 Member For: 14y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: WA Posted 19/03/18 07:24 AM Author Share Posted 19/03/18 07:24 AM I can find almost no information about a factory check valve but makes sense if it's in the middle of the hose(not visible in normal pics) but did find one post on a stuffed PCV check valve with a pic of a small plastic inline check valve (definitely not the PCV) I'll be heading to the Fraud dealer soon, will see if they have a part# for one. Probably just go ahead and put one in, easy cheap job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from Ford, and yes their schematic has a factory check valve(as per your pic) will have it tomorrow lunchtime with a new PCV and elbow Funnily enough I'm currently looking at a very similar view haha Edited 19/03/18 09:06 AM by Lunchietey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchietey Member 84 Member For: 14y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: WA Posted 19/03/18 10:22 AM Author Share Posted 19/03/18 10:22 AM Good productive day. Organised a lot of bits, and removed quite a bit. A couple of bolts/brackets to go to remove the inlet manifold to fit oil and water lines and gauge tappings etc. Changed fuel reg, map, almost every rubber cooling hose, fitted power steering cooling lines, ordered a few bits from ford, removed turbo again and replaced exhaust side steel line giving me the turbo water return. Tomorrow will be a really good day I hope, will be able to actually start fitting/reassembly. Pretty excited! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
