Crankcase evacuation valve
« on: June 09, 2008, 11:15:54 AM »
Kenny, I've read about your valve for the crankcase pressure on the "other" forum.  Can you explain it's operation, and effects on performance?

You have any pictures?

I have purchased this and ran it on the dyno to test it out and it gave 1-1.5 hp. It will keep your engine running better overall and releases the pressure from inside the crank case (creating a vaccum). IMO this is one of the most inexpensive mods that really help out all around. Better ring seal, smooths out the power curve,keeps oil cleaner  Great buy :thumbs:

When you say smooths out the power curve, are you refering to the over rev (+6800 RPM) ??

Also do you have the before and after Dyno read-outs available to post?

It is smoother all the way thru the power bend... I don't have before and after but when my bike was being dynoed I forgot to put it on and it gave my +1.5hp peak when installed :thumbs:

It doesn't necessarily release pressure from the crankcase, the crankcase vent line from the factory does that. This is a check valve installed in the factory vent line that prevents the crankcase from taking air back in on the compression stroke. It creates a negative pressure in the crankcase that apparently aids in ring seal. I bought one but haven't installed it yet.

I won't pretend to be an expert though. Kenny can give a much better explanation.

Well install it and then compare and see how much more air pressure comes out first :P

Is your point that it seems like more air is coming out?

  You guys have done quite a nice job! :clap: Not much I can add, except that I have already found people trying to do knock offs (that fail EVERY time). These things will pay for themselves with fuel savings alone. :grin_nod:

  Here are the pics. I'll stick with my previous intro prices of $70+$5 sh for the inline version and $130+$5 sh for the cam cover version. Get 'em while you can because I'll be raising the prices $15 for each version :grin_nod:
