Psych0matt Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I don't know how these turned out, but took a few shots of the engine, since I cleaned it up a little the other day. and by a little, I mean only a little still pretty dirty, but that'll change eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 So does simple green and purple power! But really I think you should take some parts off and paint them IMHO but it looks MUCH better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really I think you should take some parts off and paint them IMHO but it looks MUCH better! gonna buy some degreaser from work tomorrow probably, and yes, I will paint some of the pieces, just not til I have the time, and probably when I trust it enough to take parts off and get them back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 With a cone filter you can't use the OEM PCV tube....but I made my own from a N/A tube and some hose and clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 not a bad idea. I was trying to figure out how to do it. I dont quite mind the look of the breather, but it gets oil everywhere on the front valve cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 you could....... make a draft tube like the old pre-emisions cars had.... run a tube off the breather and have it hang below the car... and any oil that blows out will simply lube your underside!

Garrett Powered Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 yea but that would take the p out of pcv I got a tube going to a jar and then to the end of the filter. trying to get the oil to accumulate in the jar instead of inside my turbo and IC. you dont want that crud condensing back into the crankcase. might foul the oil or glaze everything over. in theory, having it hooked up right will draw out the gasses more better.

pwmin Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 mo' betta! (referring to the above post) mine had a bunch of scratches like that, so i just moved everything out of the way and took whatever i could off, masked everything off and painted over the regular paint and it looks so much better. i can post before/after pics, but i dont wanna put pics of other cars in a thread about your car.

pwmin Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 all the pics can be found on my photobucket http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v476/pwmin/91%20Grand%20Prix/ before are in teh pix 06-07 subfolder and the after are in the engine bay subfolder. it doesnt like great and you can still see the scratches some, but theyre not bare metal, so less noticeable. it didnt take very long. i didnt use clear, so it couldve been better HTH paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
