| Stock Ford Lightning/Harley F150 PCV setup |
 This
is a true oil separator that never needs replacing, or cleaning. My name is
Vince, and I am a ASE certified Master Mechanic. My interest came from
having the same problem as everyone else and not being happy with the patch
style fixes. Regular oil separators need cleaning and draining. Plus
everyone always asks "Why do you have that oil bottle on your truck, and why
does your truck use oil?" (not totally understanding what's going on). Other
kits block off the Supercharger suction port. This allows oil/oil vapors to
be pulled into the lower intake, (only it's below the intercooler where you
can't see it) or can possibly allow boost pressure to enter the crankcase.
Under boost when blow by is at its greatest these vapors can only escape by
the driver's side valve cover. Oil/Oil vapors reduce the octane rating of
your fuel. Mine does not need cleaning or draining, EVER. It's totally
MAINTENANCE FREE. Most will never even know it's there. |
| Remove PCV tubing |
 Using
the supercharger to "pull" a crankcase evacuation, "especially under boost",
allows for better piston ring seal. My kit removes 99.9% of oil from the
incoming air being pulled in from the PCV line. Better yet, it drains the
oil back into the crankcase. There is also "never" a chance of boost
pressure entering the crankcase, nor is there boost loss/bypass. Feel free
to ask specific questions. The kits have been sold on the grass roots level.
People have been so impressed with them I have been urged to take this
venture to a higher level. The kits sells for $200 shipped to your door.To begin the install, simply remove the stock PCV tubing and PCV valve itself to reuse. |
| Vacuum cap Installation, and cleaning of the lower hose |
 NOTE:
If you have not cleaned your intercooler now is a good time to drain the oil
from this line! How you ask? Simple, Just wrap a shop towel around the open
end of the lower hose before installing the cap. Start the engine, and
immediately stomp it to create a little boost and shut the engine down. The
small puddle of oil in the lower will immediately be pushed out. MAKE SURE
TO USE a shop towel, Oil will go everywhere if not. Install the 3/8 vacuum
cap onto the rear hose that goes to the lower intake manifold. This will
stop a small amount of boost loss(bypass) as well. |
| Install sleeve and reuse your stock PCV valve |
|
| Filter Location |
Install the new oil cap and place the filter on top of it. Connect the PCV valve and tighten with provided hose clamp. |
| Its that easy! |
 Install
the upper plenum hose with the supplied clamps. Save your old parts. The
complete install should not take any longer than 5 minutes. Please visit the
