Oil separator in the block

[CarverSVO]

I've been getting a lot of oil coming out of the dipstick and valve evac. from too much pressure. At first I couldn't find it so I brought it to a good shop and I was told it's because the oil separator going into the block near the lower intake is bad, but that it's no longer available. Does anyone know where I could get one? Or is there some way to solve this with some sort of bypass? I was also greeted with a bad signal from the brake prop. valve...like I'll find a new one of those...

You could always find another used one. I'm about to just tap the hole and run my own system like BoostedBruiser did with the LS1 evac pump.

Your mechanic's logic isn't making sense to me though. If you're getting oil out of the dipstick hole then your crank case is pressurized. I would check your PCV valve first. Here is one of the only times I recommend a Genuine Motorcraft part.

The brake fluid sensor in the proportioning valve isn't specific to SVO's as far as I know. If you can't buy new you should be able to get a good working nit from probably any Ford of that era.

Yes, it is. The Lincoln and maybe Granada had the same one....if I remember the reading I've done.
On the original subject....Like Mike said, it's only there to keep a solid torrent of oil from coming through the PCV line. And as FMW said, the PCV is probably the culprit, as yes, get the MC PCV.

I am also going to go overboard on my build and install an air/oil seperator inline with the PCV.

[fastsvo]

which seperator do you plan on using?

I got one from Jegs. Part number 555-52205. It's ab out $50 shipped.
It's made specifically for potential high crankcase pressures
Maximum pressure 150 psi
Cleanable filter element

What does this mean exactly? Is your dash Brake light illuminating?

[fastsvo]

I've been looking at that exact product over @ Jegs. Is it small enough to run it inline with the PCV valve hose going to the upper intake?

Thanks,

It's fairly small. I am going to re-route that line in a different place other than right next to the ditributor.....PITA

Yeah, the prop valve is sending a signal for the brake light and the little sensor thingy doesn't seem to work correctly. Everything else still seems fine, but I'm paranoid and don't want to take any chances.

I forgot that I have some generic PCV since the rebuild, so I'm getting a new MC one just to be sure. If it's still acting up after that I'll check out the jegs unit. Thanks for the help.

I ran it on the cam cover side. It comes with smooth, single barb 3/8" hose fittings which perfectly matches the hose/tube size coming from the breather on the rear of the cam cover.

I have a 2nd one for that as well.

Mike, what did you source for the intake hose and grommet in that pic?

[NavySVO]

thank you

[fastsvo]

Should I install that oil separator on the cam cover side or the intake manifold? I believe most of the push over I get is from the intake side, but perhaps this is not the case (not 100% sure). I guess you **could** run two in both locations?

Thanks,
Eric
