scared meself!!!

Sorry ... but nope. You said that it's not the same but didn't 'splain how the end effect would be any different.

You just keep telling yourself you're right about that Tom...that's obviously what you do best.

WTF???

Why so SNARKY?

I was honestly asking your opinion as to why you feel the current solution yields different results than my original 'proposed' approach.

If you'd rather just pick at the scab from earlier discussions though, I'll let it go.

Sooooooooo....it hasn't become abundantly clear to you?

It's everyone else....most definitely NOT tha chi-pom.

SHEESH...try N keep up, will ya?...

BTW, what'd ya use for baffling in your can?

[tom4bren]

what'd ya use for baffling in your can?

None. It appears that with long (& uphill) run on my hoses, all of the oil condenses inside the hose & runs back into the valve cover. So far I haven't collected any oil in the can.

If I were collecting any though, I'd probably just use steel wool. I'd probably also add a drop tube on the intake to about 1/2 way into the baffling.

Nah, I'm a leeeetle dense. Prolly comes from being wrong so often despite the fact that I tell everyone that I'm never wrong.

Snarky?

That's a convenient way for you to try to portray my answer Tom, especially when what you're asking me now has ONCE AGAIN been changed from what you were asking before.

When you conveniently change your questions like that, OF COURSE the previous answer isn't going to apply to the current question, but resorting to such things to try to direct attention away from your own confusion only makes you appear to be the person picking at scabs from earlier discussions.

Once again though, your original "proposed" approach didn't include the vent-to-atmosphere-filter being used in your current solution...so it simply isn't the same setup you keep telling yourself it is...

[tom4bren]

Snarky?

SNARKY - yep, I find your demeanor very abrasive.

Nope. I've asked you the same question 3 times now. How is the end result of what I've done different from what I originally proposed? Venting to atmosphere should have the same effect on crank case pressure as venting to the combustion chamber in my mind. I'm just curious as to why you feel it's different.

T'wasn't confused. Merely asking your opinion since you have positioned yourself as the ultimate authority on the subject.

Once again though, your original "proposed" approach didn't include the vent-to-atmosphere-filter being used in your current solution...so it simply isn't the same setup you keep telling yourself it is...

I never said it was the same solution. I said it was a different approach to the same result.

Let me explain myself one more time so that you don't have to search through hundreds of posts looking for the perfect quote.

I still feel that a crossover tube would be a means of removing one variable from the problem we experience with oil consumption. I don't feel that it is the source of all of the issue but it's easy enough to install one to find out ... except that I didn't think it through in regard to drilling the hole in the valve cover without introducing metal shavings into the crank case. That's the reason that I went with the vent filter temporarily. It's just not worth removing the valve cover at this point in time (I will however drill a hole in Boy's valve cover since it's already off). This is absolutely a Research & Development (R&D) scenario so changes to the concept are not only acceptable, they are expected.

When I've already provided you with your answer(s), there is no need for me to explain myself once again.

At this point, the only thing that remains a mystery is whether you're just trolling me to try to get me to waste more time answering the same questions...or whether you REALLY haven't understood the answers you've already been provided with.

Either way, I simply don't care about your project any more. Good luck.

Nah, I'm not tolling you. I honestly did want your opinion on why you feel that the end product yields different results from what I had originally planned. That is the only question that remains unanswered.

I agree that it may be OBE anyway since my oil consumption is all over the place right now. One tank of gas it doesn't use any, the next it'll use a 1/2 quart (it doesn't help that there are 2 different drivers so driving styles may have a lot to do with it).
