beeza's DIY's
Thought I would put all my efforts into 1 thread in an effort to get other's motivated to do some DIY's and other useful info n' stuff(also a quick reference)

btw ever wondered how that damn PCV system works?
"Purpose of the PCV system
During each compression stroke a small amount of gas seeps past the piston rings. These gasses comprise of an unburnt fuel/air mixture which contaiminates your engine oil and corrodes your internal parts. The purpose of the PCV system is to remove these gasses while maintaining emissions standards.
The PCV valve tested is known as a variable-flow PCV valve. This valve allows the crankcase to evacuate gasses into the intake manifold even at high load conditions.
The problem Honda engineers had was the following:
They needed to find a vacuum source which provides a variable vacuum with less draw at idle and more vacuum pressure pulling gasses out at high load (WOT) conditions. The dilemma is that at Idle and low load conditions the vacuum present inside the Intake manifold is the greatest and at WOT the vacuum in the intake manifold is the lowest(almost none). This is the exact opposite of what is needed because their is more blowby gasses needed to evacuate at WOT (high load) then at Idle!
So they designed a special spring loaded pintle valve(PCV valve) which does the following:
Idle, Low load--- high vacuum pressures fully retract the pintle causing only a small vacuum draw on the crankcase.
Mild load conditions--- vacuum present in the intake manifold is not as strong so the pintle sits in the middle of the pcv valve allowing more vacuum to evacuate the crankcase.
High load + WOT conditions--- their is almost no vacuum present and the pintle is almost completely extended allowing the most amount of gasses to be drawn into the intake manifold.
Engine backfire--- the pintle fully extends and seals to eliminate any gasses from flowing from the intake manifold to the crankcase.
Under acceleration and high load situations blowby is extremely high and consequently the PCV valve/purge hose cannot supply enough vacuum to remove all the gasses needed. This is when the flow reverses from the valve cover to the intake. Their is so much blowby present that both the PCV valve/purge hose and the Valve cover breather/hose have to both vent excess pressures created. The PCV is working at its best but can't keep up with the demanding pressures created."
This product looks GREAT:
