Re: Air box restrictor
 

Hi Earle,
Many have converted to the PCV to avoid the constant clogging of the
orifice at the intake: http://home.sprynet.com/~dale02/aircl.htm#pcv I think
it may even be a factory recall.

Re: Air box restrictor
 

Haven't had a problem, don't have an air cleaner with a bunch of weird
gizmos stuck to it and don't have a carburetor, but thanks anyway. I owe it
all to regular oil changes, warming the Jeep to operating temperature nearly
every time I start it up and living in sunny dry Colorado. There are some
advantages to living fifty miles from the grocery store I guess. IMHO, the
CCV will clog if and only if you have a bunch of gunk in your engine that
you shouldn't have there.

Re: Air box restrictor
 

1995 4.0 4x4 Cherokee purchased new in 1995.

At expiration of warranty, 36,000 miles:

A) Defeated evaporative canister to eliminate raw gas fumes entering
engine.

B) Removed venturi from inlet hose, not needed after "A".

C) Removed metal block off plate in front of Air Box inlet to allow
cool air to enter.

D) Enlarged opening in Air Box to match opening created after "C".

E) Removed Catalytic Convertor, Muffler and 1 7/8" Tailpipe.

F) Replaced "E" above with Straight Pipe, Turbo Muffler and 2 1/4"
Tailpipe.

Power from 3,500rpm to Redline is amazing, and Fuel Economy improved
an average of 2 MPG. Jeep now has 240,000 miles and has had NO major
repairs and runs same as at 40,000 miles. Mobil-1 in Engine, Mobil-1
ATF in Transmission and Transfer, Royal Purple in both Differentials
and none of them have had any repairs.

Re: Air box restrictor
 

Hi Earle,
I believe it's location of the orifice near the exhaust, that cooks the
oil clogging that very small hole. The test is to see if you have a
crankcase vacuum at idle. Also the major gasolines have the additive that in
blow-by keep the PCV clean.
