Replacing the oil separator and PCV system 850

I will. I'm going to have to remove the power steering pump & thermostat housing though to get to that bolt, and also the fuel lines only disconnect way down behind the engine, not up top. Between the 3 of those operations, I need more time and patience than I had at my disposal yesterday.

I implemented a bandaid solution for the crankcase pressure, I put a tee in the line that runs from the oil separator to the cylinder head, and ran a line to a PCV valve that vents into the intake. So some pressure is being bled off that would otherwise have put the RMS at risk.

Hopefully it will prevent something bad from happening until I can do the job right.
