    Thanks this helped me although im using the SAAS catch can, the filter needed to be cleaned as its reusable , the white smoke was horrendous (200 series FYI)

    I find it hard to fathom that anyone would not understand that catch cans have a filter. Most even come with a filter replacement windscreen sticker!

    You should've put the larger provent 200 in the cruiser. You'll find that might not be big enough.

      yep very true, the provent 200 is perfect size for these engines , i run one on mine and its great

    Get rid of that catch can and put a provent 200 on it the flashlube ones are to small for the V8’s i was a mechanic for years. Had heaps of them come in and swapped them with the provent no issue. Even with a new filter give it a few kms and watch that crank case pressure build.

      Hey mate I have a 2011 model cruiser and instead of the catch can what is actually stopping you from getting a hose from the crank case and just putting it to the ground like older engines and letting is vapour like that and than plugging the hole on the air intake ? Thanks

      @@duncanpye6210 There’s nothing stopping you from doing it that way apart from the fact it’ll get pretty messy and that it’s highly illegal venting to atmosphere now days.
      And maybe a potential issue doing water crossings if water did somehow find its way in. I wouldn’t recommend it however with the amount of different options these days just install a quality catch can.

    CATCH CANS WAKE UP! They do work well if you use the correct type & size. NO you don't want that oil filling your intercooler or oily soot gunk clogging your inlet !!! Even the cheap knock off $35 Provent 200 from e bay works well. You can add some stainless pot scourers to filter more or retro fit a PV 200 paper filter, but it's not worth the money for paper filters. Also use a heavier / thicker oil to reduce blowby. Manufacturers thin oil recommendations are total BS that destroys engines !!!
    And because Aussie fuel is junk & now basically ultra low sulphur you ALWAYS need a good fuel lubricant !!! Then you'll have no excessive ring, valve or injector wear !!!
    Injectors should never be worn out or a problem at 200,000 kl if you use a decent lubricant, or unless a mechanical fault or badly made injector or faulty injector to start with. And never use cheap oils like Valveoburn or Castocastrate.

    Yes you do need the bigger can for the V8's, 3 litre & 2 litre engines. Even on smaller engines the big one's are fine. Can never have a can too big.
    You must use thicker oils like 20W-50 or 20W-60. Your engine has lots of blowby & wear because of people etc using those stupidly thin oil recommendations they have now. The thin oils are total bs & are destructive to your engine in hot Oz climates. I've seen that many engines prematurely worn & or damaged from thin oils it's not funny. Ticking lifters, heaps of blowby, blowing smoke, burning oil, lower compression & as you say, worn rings, valve guides & seals etc. If you're driving in -20 C thin oils are ok, but never for Australian or other hot country conditions. Any honest oil engineers & honest mechanics will tell you the same. It also says that in the oil specification books.

    • @pauljbusby
      @pauljbusby Před rokem +1

      The 20W is too heavy for this Engine. It's not a 1HZ mate. Yes the 5W30 is too light at temp. The best overall for this Engine is 5W40 high Zinc. Considering its a Quad Cam Roller Rocker lash adjusted drive Train & Turbo Charged, telling punters to drastically change the Viscosity is just bad advise. The Engine has an Oil Cooler so you need to push this V8 very hard to get the Oil temp over 95. You don't seem to understand how this Engine is built and operated

      I have used 20/60 Penrite oil in my 2000 WF Ford Festiva since new. The dealer upon its first service replaced the factory supplied oil with Castrol 10/40. I noticed the oil presser light would stay on for nearly three seconds combined with slight overhead rattle. Dealer said, not really a problem. I took the car home ,drained the oil and replaced it with Penrite 20/60. Problem solved, oil pressure light is extinguished immediately and absence of engine noise. Dealer said that I would have problems because of the thickness. "WELL 20Yrs later and still the original engine has travelled 461,000 KM. oil consumption is about 0.5 Lt per 10,000 KM. Still goes hard.
      Yes,I recommend this product.

      @@pauljbusby I had a 99 Hiace SBV van & was using 20W-50. The oil spec website said I could use oil as thin 10W-30. I decided to go midway & used 15W-40. Van engine rattled it's head off. After a couple of weeks I changed back to a heavier oil, but the damage was done & had a bad rattling lifter ever since.

      I guess 4x4 driving at Cape York is not pushing the engine hard ?
