How does the 8.1 deal with crankcase vapors? I can't imagine it has an old-school vent on the oil fill cap.
My old Fords must not have had that fancy "best design" PCV system. Or maybe they were run way past their intended service life. I can remember pouring oil out of the air filter housing when the PCV valve stuck shut and the crankcase ventilation stopped. Back then the breather hose from the oil fill cap just ran to a small fiber air filter pinned to the side of the breather.
