This One Single Mod Will Save Your SVT Cobra Motor

DAMN IT BOBBY, how do you not have more views ❗❗❗

I wish I knew the answer to that question. 😅

[@jmak03cobra66]

Just sharing my experience with catch cans on these cars. The catch can needs to be on the driver side. At one point i had both jlt catch cans one on passenger side one on driver side. After 5000 miles passenger catch can was still bone dry and driver side had oil.

[@olddarkspirit6410]

Exactly!! Why do you think that the can on the passenger side is always dry ?

[@JordanSVT]

Very good, informational video. I'd recommend an oil catch can on any high performance car, definitely an important mod to have.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

Definitely something all cobras need! Trying to do things right this time around.

[@calgunfun4113]

Great video! Good info for anyone out there with a built car.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

I think it makes since for anyone that plans on keeping a cobra long term! It just saves the engine from getting gunked up which would cause the valves to bake over the years. Was a contributing factor as to why I think I lost my last motor!

@@Jordancraigmiller Can you make a video on cleaning the valves, my cobra has 100k miles and never had a oil catch, car is stock

[@Jordancraigmiller]

@@lukhwinderarora6261 If tour cobra is completely stock it’s probably not that bad. But at 100k miles without having any oil separation you will will run into some slight issues sooner or later. There isn’t really much I could say about cleaning valves other than just to get a reputable machine shop to do it. One that you trust.

Did I get in first today? Happy holidays Jordan, I wish you and your family the best! The series focus st I have has a problem of blowing oil into the intake which eventually settles in the charges pipes. The “first mod” I did was a crank case breather and I have a catch can on order! It seems like a small thing but I’m glad you (and I) figured it out

[@Jordancraigmiller]

Yes, you did! Those breathers can be tricky because it's basically a vacuum leak which can throw off the idle and air-fuel ratio. But if it works then it works! Wouldn't work for me with the cam haha the slightest vacuum leak and it destroys my idle.

[@Bloodreign137]

@@Jordancraigmiller the breather I got is from CFM and has a check ball in the valve so under vacuum (load) the ball is auctioned shut. I’m not an engineer and I have a lot to learn about cars but I haven’t noticed any loss in boost pressure of anything. I will definitely keep an eye on my air/fuel ratios though, thanks! I could see why with the huge cams it might throw things off for you!

I have one on my Gt. And its only stroked and cam'd for right now. And it does help alot with oil blow by into your intake.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

Do you have both sides or just one?

[@lreyes98]

I need help. Changing a pcv valve on 04 mach 1 but when I unhook the hose its just a black plastic sitting on the grommet not an actual pcv valve. I tried screwing in the new one I bought but it was getting stuck and in fear of messing up my engine I just put the plastic back on the valve cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

It may have a PCV valve delete kit!

[@03Terminator]

Where did you get the rubber hose that you connected to the intake? Mine doesn’t fit exactly either.

[@orange1soda]

Awsome you got it.drovers side i hope you put it on the drivers side the ones on the passenger side dont do anything noo.wrong side you get no oil there trust me.you need it on the drivers side i have a half can full every 2k miles.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

They were out of stock good sir, not my fault. Waiting on it to come in.

[@lukhwinderarora6261]

Getting that much oil after 2 k miles, isn’t that excessive blow by?

[@Jordancraigmiller]

@@lukhwinderarora6261 depends on how much power you’re making but for the majority of cars yes that’s a little much. But then again, I don’t have one on both sides yet and I haven’t really been able to drive mine much in the past year.

[@orange1soda]

Jlt installing a catch can .plz watch the vid.you need it on the drivers side.i had 1 on each side never hot a drop off the passenger side.i just put a breather on the passenger side.im not trying to be a jerk but you get no fluid on the side you put it on.the drivers side youll fill that can every 1500 miles trust me.....

Excessive oil collecting in the cans means there is blow by? Correct me if I’m wrong

[@Jordancraigmiller]

They are on back order.

[@tomkjr1]

You can also replace that passenger side hose with a simple breather(K&N makes a nice one) and plug up the valve on the intake tube. I did that on my Cobra and installed a jlt pcv prefilter over the valve on my driver side...works just fine! Only differences are that you have to clean or replace that breather periodically and the cost is way less than a catch can system.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

Those breathers don’t work very well at all with Cammed cobras. Going to get a JLT 3.0 for that side as well once it’s in stock! If it’s the little one I’m thinking if you’re basically creating a vacuum leak.

[@tomkjr1]

@@Jordancraigmiller Been running for 5 years without any issues. Venting the crank case is not a vacuum leak. Many cobra owners including track cars run the same setup. In fact many use 2 breathers. I also have a stop valve on my breather which operates just like a pcv valve. Pressure blows out but no intake. This system can save a lot of blown gaskets caused by excessive internal engine pressure.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

@@tomkjr1 I've just been told not to use that by everyone who helped me with my car unless I'm making enough power to need one.

[@tomkjr1]

@@Jordancraigmiller Obviously both types work since so many use both. Which is better? who knows, maybe neither. Both my Terminators have been modified cars. Not extremely, only into the 600+whp and I've never had an issue with the breathers. If you are bone stock and worried about emissions and passing inspection, then keeping a closed system with catch cans would be the way to go. Since I don't have to worry about that, I like to keep it simple and pretty without too many hoses. I also enjoy the peace of mind in knowing that nothing unwanted could get into my intake tube because the hose is gone!

@@Jordancraigmiller Yeah my car was tuned after pcv was deleted and breathers added.
