Wyreth auto rx works on stuck rings???? Hmmm never gave this truck a dose of that as the valve covers never had gunk build up an oils always nice when changing. Will try that Tom when I change Tw oil. An my RDT is a 1/2 in hose with a custom elbow straight outta the valve cover. I thought that was over kill! What size do you reccomend? It's an easy change.

me thinks you are too young to know,,but if you went and looked,,at a OLD 390 with a rdt,,it would be 7/8 dia,,and the 444 cu in,,will require at least a 1 inch.........all the way thru..the faster the engine spins,,the more VOLUMN of gasses.....

Is this really a thing to worry that much about? You guys have me paranoid. Mine uses the thread-in style cap that clicks when it's set. My CDR is almost brand new.

Does anyone realize that a 1" ID hose has 4 times the volumn as a 1/2" hose. You may think it's only twice as large, do the math.

The normal OEM of a CDR has a 1" suction hose, and it's very short.

Mike if I remember your carpets brand new do I'm assuming low low miles I would worry to much about it yet around 200k an personally I throw cdr's is the closet trash can I am a RDT fan all the way. Execpt I guess I don't know why size of hose to use lol. I will measure it today an get another. Wyeth I will dose it today an report results when I change the oil again. I'm pretty sure I read to only follow the directions on the can to the T so I share do that.
