Replace Crankcase breater tube w/filter?
I have just installed a K&N FIPK Gen II on my 2001 Explorer Sport 4.0 SOHC and I have a question about that crankcase breather tube. Can I replace it with a crankcase filter without messing up anything with the computer or the engine performance? I don't really like the way that grommet went into the tube and then to get the breather tube to stay in place it has to stick out a little into the intake tube so that must be messing with the airflow down the pipe. Anybody tried using the filter or how have you intake guys handled this?
