Breather Hose from Exhaust Valves

[dmkhnr]

Are you guys seeing a spooge mess from the breather hose routed from the exhaust valves?
I was told not to daylight this hose out the bottom of the bellypan, however, oil all over the bottom of the engine compartment is unacceptable.
Whats your take?

i dont see how routing it outside of the sled is going to cause a problem unless it gets stuffed full of snow. what a mess under the motor from this stupid thing

I have rerouted my hose More towards the exaust..

I was getting oil on my primary!!

Still thinkin on putting a little catch Bottle on the end of the hose!!

I've got my motor out, and am waiting for the brown truck to show up this afternoon. I'm going to be cleaning the bellypan and finding an alternative solution shortly.

if you search the dragon threads RON (screenname on here) used a small plastic bottle to fix his, worked great..might search his threads on his 08 or 09 dragon build...

I wonder if a bottle will cause a loose of vaccum or not allow the oil to drain ok. I'm having the same issue, but my oil mess is very small so far. I haven't seen any on the clutch and I usually look at the clutch everytime I put oil in the oil tank.

Ron is pretty good about testing stuff, he said no issues at all...

I am thinkin of the bottle..

Using Velcro to the Cast alum ... So i can clean out the bottle.

Thinkin a old bottle of Lucas Fuel Cleaner is the right size.. # 10020 at napa!

I'm using a 5 hr energy bottle, porting the neck of it and then wrapping frogskin prefilter around the opening and porting. This should give it atmosphere, and keep the spooge from spilling out.

That's why I'd really like to remove the solenoid and block the ports all together. would just hate to have warranty voided for due to it.

If you were to do that it only takes 2 minutes to put it back to stock if you have to take it into warranty.

First, I tied mine to the swaybar and it worked for the first trip out west. I saw that the buildup on the a-arm tube would shield the swaybar and leave a little pocket for the hose to "exhaust." Then it got really cold and it froze up and would thaw by driving part throttle for about 3 miles. Then I trimmed it a bit shorter and let it dangle in the nosepan. This seems to work good. No freezing or plugging with snow even in up to 3 feet of Doug Chabot "dough." To do the routing, I used a straight fitting for the solenoid exhaust. Best of all, no crappy build-up in the bulkhead.

True, but I'm pretty picky, and would like to tap and plug the valve body itself. But, I guess I could live with the hoses still there.

I ran a longer length of quality automotive fuel hose from the sel, down, under exhaust, and out through the motor mount access hole behind the muff, behind the muff, and terminated it at the chaincase drain hole. Did it with the pipe and can out. Yeah, if flows crap. Right where I want it. Zero mess below motor or by clutches. Simple wipe and its clean. Done deal.
