Replaced my spark plugs this weekend. Everything was fine but didnt really get on it. Went wot this morning and car shuddered and the check engine light came on. Checked code and showed ylinder 4 misfire. So I thnk it may be an issue with that particular plug. During normal driving it runs fine it is only when you get on it the problem surfaces

Sorry man.  That blows chunks.  Everything was secure?  Hopefully the coil is okay and maybe you just have a bad plug.

Very good!  An exercise in delayed gratification for sure.  LOL
Wanna see after you get it on!

It's just the same Blue Oval except w/o the 1/4" peel at one edge.

Picked up 1" chair leg caps for my VTA.  If it works out, I'll be ordering the K&N 62-1370's.

What are you using KN filter for?

Sent from my mobile, I think.

Wouldn't that be like putting a air filter on your exhaust pipe?

I was thinking the same thing. AFAIK, what we did for vent is not oil recirculation, or is it?

Crankcase ventilation filter.  If you leave it on, it dirties the intake.  If you leave it off, it messes up your engine compartment.  Hence this filter.  Plus the Bling factor.

I'm not following; the tubes we remove to get the blow offs would send air into the engine; not sure how that positive pressure would put crankcase fumes into the intake.

This is why 4DR suggested we develop a catch can like the one for the F150 EB.

I've not see any oil on my engine since I pulled my hoses 15k miles ago.

On second thought, those K&N's would allow more hot engine compartment air to get to the intake. I'm gonna hold off on them.

Cylinder four misfire was just a bad plug.....was right up front for me....since I had all that extra time set aside I installed the K and N CAI while I was at it. Woop Woop

Sounds good RedSHO.  Glad you got her zipped up.  Enjoy the Typhoon!
