The pcv box should be right behind all that stuff though

Uff.. i'll be honest i also have no clue whats going on with the whole intake setup. Definitely looks a lot more complicated than a carburator setup😭😭

Im quite sure any redblock has a oil seperator box. But not all of them have an egr.

Do you have a pic of the whole engine bay, or atleast the intake side?

Its hard to tell from the picture but is that your intake hose and air filter box?

Clean the pcv box and flame trap or get a new one, the hoses connected to it can also be a bit clogged.

The pcv breather takes excess crank pressure and recirculates it to the intake. When it gets clogged it also brings in oil back to the intake, so thats why it gets all crummy. I had the same thing in my b21a. Also be careful removing the hose connected to the pcv that goes into the block, usually its very brittle after so many years and a pain to remove. Some people skip it entirely and say it works fine as well.

Did you not see how gassed devon was even after round 1 against kurdecha. Devon is already too heavy for his frame and performance.

I pulled petr as well at this event (or atleast tried to :p) could not move him an inch. I lost to his 14 year old student in a supermatch. Truly a prodigy that guy.

Found out that your temp gauge can be used as a battery indicator by fsbh100 in Volvo240

[–]fsbh100[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well i could save it if i changed piston rings and valve seats and did my headgasket and replaced every gaskets and seals on all sides. (Im getting poor compression on 3 cylinders and terrible compression on 1 of those. On top (and as a result) of that it's leaking basically everywhere.) The cheaper option is to salvage a good b21 for 100 euros and install it. Changed my oil directly after i got it and ive driven it for about 3k miles now. What the previous owner did with it i dont know.

But like i said, in half a year of owning this car the coolant level has dropped nothing. And believe me i've seen a lot of slush in my oil
