I am in the process of rebuilding my engine. While I am at it I decided to work on a solution of the pcv sucking oil.
I have an Edelbrock Performer intake. This does not allow me to use the larger Ford baffle found on Exploer intakes because I do not have the casting bosses under ther egr area to attach it to.
After doing some research I discovered that the China Wall area of the engine block really adds to the oil sucking problem. This was according to a Roush Engineer. There is alot of splash in this area and you can see from the pics the stock baffle is open in that area. This open area really contributes to the oil sucking.
I made a baffle that covers the stock baffle in this area and creates more obstacles for the air to flow.
Attached, are some pics of a pcv baffle. I made it out of galvanized sheet metal. I first made a pattern out of thin cardboard. Then I cut it with tin snips. I used three washers as spacers between the stock baffle and the new baffleSee pic). I also removed the origional rivots and drilled and tapped the holes to 1/2 20. I then used two stainless steel bolts with loctite. There are two notches that allow oil to drain if it accumulates on the underside of the baffle.
This should reduce the oil sucking issue.
