A new issue has developed. We aren't getting propery crankcase ventilation. Cracked on of the valve covers. Going to have to check to make sure we didn't mess up the rings or break a ring land...and revist the crankcase ventilation. Will probably put a vacuum pump on it and be done with that issue once and for all.

WHY, why did you have to bring bad news..

Yeah, kind of a bummer. On the plus side, may have a better excuse to get the new pistons. LOL. Hurry up Tracy!

Sorry man. Vince may be able to work around, but I have bigger problems now. Did notice my Injen tube has a piece to divert some of the air around the MAF. That may be the key, but it would probably take a lot of testing to get it designed right.

Noooooooooooooooooooo.

So the 4" MAF housing isn't going to work? Is that what read or am I just dumb?

GretchenGotGrowl · 07-13-2012, 07:54 PM

I won't have time to work it out. Somebody else will have step up on that one.

Depends on what Gretchen's "expansion chamber" is... not sure if that is the same thing as the 4" MAF housing...

What is this expansion chamber?

GretchenGotGrowl · 07-13-2012, 08:16 PM

I think mine is 3.5 inches. It is just the expansion chamber. Don't have a picture, but it is a straight tube with the fitting for the MAF welded to it.

BaylorCamaro · 07-13-2012, 08:24 PM

V6 we're talking about the MAF tube

Not dumb at all. It is all a bit confusing.

I ordered the Jet MAF but it's on back order as they stopped stocking it. So now I just waiting for it to come back. I warned them of the increase of demand they will get if this works like they say.
