i assume to keep the oil from blowing back through the motor and building up on the intake and everything else on the way. i think its a great idea. has a small valve on the bottom on the custom made alum canister for drainage. after many high mileage fords, i like this idea because ive always had oil coming back through this line and making a mess. ill try to get more pics when its not 20degrees outside and snowing..goood ol' unpredictable maryland weather lol.


I bet he did that because of the Cobra intake. They usually don't have a big enough baffel under the PCV valve and they suck up oil. The Explorer GT40 lower, which I have, has a much larger baffel from the factory. I have zero oil in the intake issues.

I always vote no on black wheels.  It's way overdone (this coming from a guy with Cobra R's, lol) and just does not look good in my eyes.  You have to have some contrast mixed in there.

But its your car and your choice.

 
I'm with you. I don't really care for black wheels. Unless they have a machined or chrome lip. Then I like them. I like the new black chrome that's out now though.
