DIY Solution to M54-M52TU CCV problems

[Caryalon]

I previously installed the catch can mod in my e39.

I have installed a M56 valve cover with integral CCV in my e53. This seems to work really well. I am not using much oil, and don't have to worry about the CCV under the intake manifold...

you mind posting pics of your SET UP?

I'll get some in the next couple of days. I thought I already had some, but I can't find them.

just keep in mind that will all this I noticed a small oil leak that i had thought was from the OIL Level sensor- it wasnt, it was from a split RUBBER Cover to my OIL DIPSTICK TUBE.
5k into the MOD and I chickened out thinking it was my RMS or OIL PAN GASKET.
Went back to our conventional CCV factory set up with 5-30 Supertech FS.(yes-thats right)

So far 1/2 quart low .2000 miles in.SWitch to Rotella next.

I wouldn't expect much by changing oils. Before I did the mod I tried various weights up to 10w60 and had no appreciable effect on consumption.

yep , im back there again - i still have my set up though and ive become adept at taking off and installing the conventional CCV in our cars that i dont mind it at all now ...current consumption is "acceptable" to me but i would like it close to the negligible Bavarian moD result like i had...
