Alfa Romeo V6 Crankcase Pressure Reducing Valve Reducer Kit

[Saabretooth 8]

I've been exploring installing an oil catch tank on the Busso for some time, and then I came across this interesting product, Crankcase Pressure Reducing Valve.

 

Or Reducer for short.

 

Its a japanese thing, and the Japs are crazy about Alfas more so than probably any other non-italian country.

In any case, that's the kit for the V6, except that I am exploring the oil catch tank inbetween.

 

Its a one way valve so that the air moves runs in one direction only. much like how our heart and blood vessels work.

 

 

Cheers.

A waste of time and money, the V6 uses so little oil that it's not worth the investment, the earlier 2.5s even had an oil catcher system built in ( but the 3.2 has a box of plugs sat in its place), and that kit looks like a load of crap achieving nothing but reducing cooling flow in the engine bay.
