hi sages- read the recent posts hereto. lets think this out a little more. crank case ventilation is cessary in all internal combustion engines i think b/c the pressure generated must be relieved to avoid pushing oil through the oil seals. dont think this has anything to do with whether engine is diesel, carbed or fuel injected. venting to the atmosphere is out so that leaves a pcv valve or direct venting(volvo 240)to the intake manifoldto burn these fumes.if you remove the screen venting would beimproved... still have to keep the orifice clean which allows these fumes to enter the intake manifold for burning. the screen would seem to be detrimental since its one more thing to clog up and if it does, to wit- no crankcase ventilation to reduce pressure. old fuds here like me ought to remember the road draft tubes on pre 63 american cars which vented directly to the air. once had a 53 ford flathead v8 which burned oil until i rebuilt it. coppers used to stop me for too much smoking from under the car. one called me a public nuisance. would like to hear from any old fuds here regarding my analysis. thanks tons oldduke
