Cleaning "lifter valley, oil under intercooler, and driverside separator.

matrix243 · 2025-09-21T16:32:44-0400

Anyoone else found a ton of crud just filling up under there? For a garage queen, I can't believe how much is under the turkey pan. I prefer not pulling it which would make it very easy to clean but wanted to avoid. For 10" I have clean but can't get to the back reservoir area where the turkey pan plug was leaking oil.

So intercooler is very clean, but the bottom of pan had about an oz of oiler I assume from the driverside vacuum lines past the intercooler?

I'd like to find a clean dual separator and plumbing for both driverside and passenger. And recommendations?

Thanks for any info!

The drivers side is supposed to be dry. There is Zero need for a separator on that side.

It does seem rare and I'm not running that much more boost. Maybe the JLP is working 100%? Weird that only the bottom portion is showing oil and nothing touch the intercooler.

Boost can cause the drivers side PCV hose can back feed the intake boot.
A better flowing air filter and using a Motorcraft EV98b PCValve can reduce the system from back feeding.

Exactly what I was going to ask. I've been getting dry residual oil in intake and back of tb butterfly, I assume from that. Nice. Is that some how tied to after intercooler?

Unrelated, installed my kenwood, trimmed up bezel, installed usb ports and added 3d printed spacer.
