Slobber No More!!!!! & Thoughts on fan override - bumpersbird - 08-18-2007 16:04 Slobber No More!!!!! & Thoughts on fan override Success! I love it when a plan comes together. The Racor CCV 6000 is everything it is advertised. No oil residue on the coach or the WHITE Trailer! I had Prevost in Nashville attach the oil return for me, they spliced it into the automatic oilier tube just where it goes into the block, they used standard brass fittings. It took them a while to figure it out. It took 3 hours shop time, half of that was, you wanna do what! I'm not knocking them, but no body outside the boating industries knew anything about CCV (Closed Crankcase Ventilation). Prevost also removed the old slobber tube, you'll have to take off or loosen the cold air pipe from the cooler to the intake manifold a few mounting claps, and then wrestle it out. Not a big deal. No oil residue anywhere, clean and Dry. No residue on the trailer, quite a deal! Very please with the results 5 STARS!!!!! Just returned from a very, very hot 10 days in the coach and all I can say is 4th A/C please. 3 just barly kept up with the heat. Speaking of heat I see a lot of folks talking about fans and over ride swithches, I run with the driver's air on most of the time so to me it doesn't really matter. The fan runs with the driver a/c on, or you can run it manually, or you can let the coach decide, I don't recommend that, mine over heats all the time in that mode. Does it eat HP and use more fuel? Who cares!! In 1year 16000 miles from sea level K.W Fla. To Rocky Mnt. Nat Park 12890 feet or what ever it is, I don't remember exactly. I just about always have everything turned on. My Blue Bird Guru said if you can't find the problem let the fan run! Well I can't find the problem and it really MESSES WITH MY HEAD! It should work! Why doesn't it work all by itself? I Du Noo, He A He, HeY GOOBER! What's wrong here!! In the last two weeks I've run in the hottest weather ever in my 42 PT pulling a 24' Hallmark Edge trailer with all my gear, a Pontiac Grand Prix GT in it. The Silver Leaf recorded engine temps only up to 207 degrees and she just kept on going, no problems, this leads me to believe everyone has an oiled up radiator and air cooler and that it isn't cooling well or a radiator fubar, or perhaps the solenoid doesn't work or maybe your gauges are off, or something else is a problem!!!!!!!!! HEAT, GIVE US THE HEAT!!!!! Only if you how to use it. Take look at your engine compartment. The Series 60 has the turbo, intake, exhaust, the fresh air intake pipe, parallel to the exhaust, the cold air in to the intake manifold is just mm away from the exhaust pipe up to the exhaust stack. It's all on one side of the engine and its stuck in-between the block and all you're cooling radiators! HEATS, Heat, Hey! You want know what the gates to Hell feel like? Open the rear on a hot day in Illinois! Aug 8, '07!!! Who designed the Mess! It's no wonder if anyone knows what the fan is doing. Can anyone say RADIANT HEAT!!!! So what to do? HEAT BLANKETS!!!!!! INSULATION!!!!! The theory is to contain the heat in the exhaust system and to not let it affect the other engine components. It's supposed to spool up the turbo faster and to facilitate scavenging of the exhaust. In other words it's cooler and the exhaust leaves the motor faster. Sounds good. So if it works as advertised it should help all the way around the trickle down theory. The domino effect, I don't know if it does all that but if it keeps my bed from being to hot to sleep in I'M ALL FOR IT! It is supposed to help extend the life of everything in the engine compartment by way of shielding it from excess heat. If everything is cooler then perhaps the fan situation will not be as prominent or pertinent a problem as it is now Another quick easy fix. Well that what I'm praying for. So far research is progressing I have spoken to several companies and so far I have a turbo blanket and an exhaust manifold blanket for the series 60, cost about $220.00. I have sent photos and they retuned a C.A.D. drawings and I had BB sent a parts page for the 95 to 97 Pt42's. I need to measure the rest of the pipes and brackets and they will make the blankets from these specs. Sounds COOL! Bumpersbird Slobber No More!!!!! & Thoughts on fan override - Gregory OConnor - 08-21-2007 00:39 Detroit Diesel shipped many 8V92 with slobber to sump routers. the lack of free flow caused problems. many slobber to sump were changed to slobber cans. I believe, The slobber tubes on a 4 stroke (S60's) are "crankcase vents" and not slobber produced by exhaust gas ????? not to second guess the Canadians but, how do you vent to that which you are venting??? Exhaust turbo blankets. I had issues with an insulated turbo on a tractor that twice split the casted exhaust when it would not cool down after shut down at the same rate as the other casted parts. The MFG fix was to blanket the entire exhaust but I dont have the luxuary or patients to do a running cooldow every time I shut the engine off, so I dumped the turbo blanket.

Sounds COOL! > > > Bumpersbird > Slobber No More!!!!! & Thoughts on fan override - bumpersbird - 08-21-2007 02:46 The only thing the Cans did was hook up the oil return. I don't think them boys in Nashville think their Canadians. I installed the rest of the system. The CCV is hooked up to the vent on top of the Valve cover in place of the tube that used to track down the side of the block and onto the ground. I'd call that a slobber tube. Gasses are produced by blow by in the crankcase which are then sucked from the crankcase vent in through the filter and then returned to the air intake. You can splice into the fresh air tube anywhere between the air filter and the turbo for the vacuum needed to make the system flow. The Racor CCV 6000 has built in diaphragms to off set any - or + pressures that may occur in the crankcase. I have read that these pressures should not be exceeded or you can suck in or blow out your engine seals, depending on negative or positive pressures. That's why I picked the Racor. Others like the AirSep from Walker are proud to advertise that their unit is a negative pressure type and would help keep the oil in the motor," No leaking seals". That's not what I was looking for, and you're right about the blankets. If they are going to work you have to cover everything on the exhaust side. It works, here are a few references including a few other products that are similar in function to the Racor CCV 6000.
