Call it what you will - but it works.

A little history;
I've been a mechanic since 1978 - worked at car, truck & motorhome stealerships (boy do I have stories) & independents - I have a truck repair buisness to this day (opened 1991) with major fleet accounts - I think I was even drinking a rum & coke when I thought this 1 up.

While this type of repair is handy during the end of days (read apocalypse), it's really nothing more then a corrective action that in NO way addresses the root cause issue that's causing the problem.

BMW designed the systems to function correctly when everything is in working order. After several repairs along these lines, the systems will be rendered undiagnosable/unrepairable due to the "band-aids on bullet wounds".

Most here will agree that when looking at pre-owned vehicles, seeing these types of repairs QUICKLY remove them from the list of accepable vehicles.

If a shop returned my vehicle with that installed, I would be breaking my foot off in the shop managers butt.

Wow - Where did you find that??? Sounds pretty impresive - but I'm a sole propriator and that phone number hasn't been used in years. I have never hired another mechanic (except for a periodic helper) as A B Able Truck. I'm even impressed.

By the way - The problem is the Crankcase Vent Systems on a number of manufacturers - Check the posts on other forums - Here's a press release from Corvette:

PCV-INTEGRATED ROCKER COVERS
One of the most distinctive features of the new LS1 Corvette engine is it's domed rocker covers, which house the patent-pending integrated positve crankcase ventilation system designed to enhance oil economy and oil life while reducing oil consumption and contributing to low emissions. ** yada yada yada ** covers contain baffles that separate oil and air from the crankcase gases - about three times the oil/air separation of previous engine.

We all know it's a problem - even us non-engineer type - shade tree-ers.

Nice mission statement - Do you think I can plagiarize it? But they spelled my name wrong and I would have to change the phone number. I'm also getting lazy in my old age, so I don't know if I really want any additional business it may generate. i told my wife to get a second job so I can retire - but she won't.
