The fact that any water can be boiled off the EVANS is a good thing too.
That is good, how would you go about it? In my mind I have a outdoor propane cooker and a big pot
Small progress. Got water pump painted.
Here it the ball valve I was talking about.

Leroy, that is SOOO perfect. Where from home depot or something?

That looks really good. I'm going to try threading one to the outlet on the crossover when I put mine together.

You got it the coolant need not boil only the water above boiling for your elevation for awhile would do.That is good, how would you go about it? In my mind I have a outdoor propane cooker and a big pot
I think it was Lowes, but Home Depot should have.
That would be a good place, when I get to that point I may do that too??
Have a shrimp boiler ready to go if needed

Ok, we can race and see who gets to that point first!!

That is really interesting. Do you have any plans to turn that on and off to see how much soot it captures on top of the soot reduction you should be seeing from the gapless rings? Based on War Wagon's accounts, it sounds like the gapless rings themselves give a serious reduction to soot levels in the oil. It would be interesting to see what additional benefits this would have.
Now a side inquiry regarding the CDR.... do I understand the function of the CDR correctly? Here's how I think about it: We want to put a vacuum on the crankcase to improve ring seal, but I think the real reason it was done was to improve emissions. We put the vacuum on the crankcase by utilizing the intake suction of the turbo. The role of the CDR is that it allows us to put a vacuum on the crankcase but not suck oil out of the engine, right?
The reason I ask this is I've been wondering about removing the CDR and instead attaching the engine end of suction hose to the "Y" branch of the oil fill tube that you have on the front of your engine there. I also have one of those so that is what gave me that idea. If the way I think of the CDR is correct, would there still be a chance of sucking oil out through that fill tube? If so, then there's no point removing or moving the CDR other than maybe giving some extra clearance above the valve cover....
Perhaps this is too off-topic for your thread and if so please disregard and I can start a new thread. I like this creative stuff you're adding to your engine and thanks for sharing with the rest of us!
Your saying run the CDR tube to the filler neck instead of the turbo inlet?

The CDR system is strictly an emissions thing. The purpose of the CDR itself is to limit vacuum at high throttle/rpm. Otherwise it's open all the time

Blowby is vented from valve cover to CDR then to compressor intake which then pulls the blowby into intake flow. I had a leak one time between the CDR and intake and the engine seals started leaking oil profusely lucky I had found it right away before seals were damaged.

I had seen that, but forgot it was on N/A (not that it matter). Doesn't seem like CDR has any function in that case. A plug in the valve cover would do the same thing right?

The some filler caps were vented so oil would flow back to crankcase and pressure would vent and others were vented to air filter canister if its closed it would unseat the oil dipstick up out of tube w/crankcase pressure seals would leak too.

Other way around, I was thinking run the tube between the turbo inlet and the oil filler neck and leave the CDR out of the equation.
That makes sense to me.
So if a CDR fails, that is why people start sucking oil into the intake...the vacuum stays too high and you start sucking oil out of the engine in addition to just vapor. So is the shape of the oil fill tube enough of an obstruction to the liquid oil that you would only suck vapor or would you suck oil through the fill tube too?
And then if you're sucking from the oil fill tube, a simple valve cover breather could be installed in the valve cover then. Or maybe it's better to keep the crankcase sealed to actually create a vacuum in the crankcase instead of just drawing air through it?
I guess my thought was that it would be nice to have a simpler crankcase evac system by removing the CDR so it can't fail in the future yet still be able to draw a vacuum on the crankcase. I've seen some other thoughts on the subject but I didn't read anything definitive. The CDR seems a bit controversial. I hope I haven't derailed your thread too much.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
I do know that with a stamped rocker the oil is getting thrown UP into the wire mesh in the cover thus lots of liquid there ....
With the roller rocker's the oil is exiting in a different place, not getting shot up into the mesh, so there isn't as much if any liquid up there to get sucked in ..... just my thoughts..
