Installed a Supra non-TT PCV. I wonder if there will be any difference in oil-consumption, or if it'll act like a Krankvent.
It seems to operate exactly like the oem Ap1 PCV when I blow into each end. But, the Supra PCV is definitely better built, made of metal. The openings on each end appear slightly bigger too. Also, the internals look different as well. The Supra PCV looks like it has some sort of small metal blockage/piston in it; whereas the Honda one looks like some sort of rubber, plastic or other synthetic material.
I'll report back in 3-6 months if there was any change in oil-consumption (I currently burn 1qt per 1500-2000 miles).

Boo, boo!! :*(
I damaged my rear bumper last weekend.
Did a bunch/hours of research the past couple days. I will tackle this myself; instead of paying someone $250-350 for a blended “spot repair” that they’ll just rush through in 1-2 hours (or, paint the entire bumper for $500-700). I’d rather spend 2-3 days, taking my time, with shaping the filler and primer, and compounding/polishing.
I will attempt a “clear blend” rather than clearing the entire bumper with cans.
Reason:
My rear bumper has a very nice, mint, and super flat clear coat on it. So, I’d rather have a slightly noticeable spot-repair on a super small area, rather than the entire bumper, and the sides of the bumper, with a most-likely, orange-peel and rattle-can finish.
I hope it turns out okay.
I already ordered:
- Assorted sandpaper pack and also more masking tape (I am low on tape)
- 3M/Bondo Bumper Repair Kit Filler (2-part epoxy)
- SEM Flexible Primer (always heard this was the best for plastic bumpers)
- ERA spray can of GPW NH-565
- SprayMax 2k Glamour Clear Coat spray can
- SprayMax Spot Blender spray can
- SAS Bandit Disposable Respirator (Gerson 8211P is the same thing) with proper OV and N95 filters for protection from the 2k clear. 3m pink/lavender/magenta 60921 filters are the other proper option…but you need to replace those filters anyways, which alone cost as much as this entire SAS disposable mask, and then there’s still the additional cost of the 3m mask itself. So, $20 for the entire SAS Bandit disposable mask with filters, or $40 total for a 3m mask ($20) with filters ($20).
