This has been on my 630whp street driven evo for a long time now, and hasn't budged at all. Works great. I took it for a four hour road trip, ran 10.90's and drove it home.

The vc was off the car a month ago for my build, and they havnt moved at all.

 

This is rad, thanks for posting. It'll be a big help when I tap the VC later this week.

 

I did this last night. I used a #30 drill bit with a m4x.7 tap and button screws just make sure when ya drill not to go to deep. Magnesium is really easy to work with.

 

Hey guys. I am thinking to put some steel wool or mesh, to improve oil separation inside stock baffle system of the valve cover. What do you think about that?

 

The operation was a sucess !!!

 

how long are the bolts? thanks

 

Safe to say, any and every valve cover that's powdercoated should have the baffles removed, inspected and cleaned?

 

Should. But I dont think everyone does. Just a feeling lol

 

I did this due to fear of media still being underneath. I washed it out in a tub, blasted it with hose water for and hour or so shook it around until I didn't see anything left coming out. I was still paranoid after reading about so many engine/oil pump failures so I took off the baffle plate and it was a waste of time. Not a single grain was left in there. I was pretty annoyed but at least was able to confirm that if you wash out the cover properly. It can definitely be done.

 

its a must if you're inspecting/repairing the baffles of course. you can add bolts to hold down the airflow diverters/oil separator thingers. might as well remove the baffles when enlarging the PVC holes. I see plenty of powder coated VCs with showy catch cans but with skinny hoses

 

Same situation here. A credible company did the work but I'm still paranoid. I never washed it out after I got it back. I may just buy a new one and worry about it later lol

 

I cleaned mine thoroughly but I still find glitter in my oil filter, none from the pan

 

Problem solved
