Envirovent ccv kit install issue 6cta

[matteo268]

Have a 1997 Cummings 6cta 450 diamond series. I recently purchased a enviro vent kit. Reading the directions it says to tap off valve cover. Looking at my motor it looks like the crankcase breather tube comes off the block and goes to a filter before running through a dump hose to the bilge. Can someone please clarify if you remove the factory crankcase filter or connect the Envirovent hose direct to it. Pics are attached to help paint a picture.

You have a very late build 6CTA 8.3 CPL 1929 450 (rated 430BHP 2600 RPM–same as a later “450 Diamond) ).. I was not even aware that the engine was still being made.. Very good engine but technically it  is not a “450 Diamond” as it’s a M2 using the Nippon Denso EP9 injection pump system.   Like all the earlier C’s, prop them to reach a solid 2700+ RPM and reach it easy when fully loaded.  Notice the actual serial number. You missed a digit.

Engine info

Hey Tony, thanks for the reply. Attached is the pic of pump and engine tag. Looks like the engine serial number reads 4536659.

You have a very early 6CTA 8.3.. Hook it up the the external vent thingee  like you show.  Put the drip bottle down low and loop back up to the air cleaner ( like in all the installs) 

Post an engine serial number-–

I am thinking you DO NOT have a  450 Diamond –This is an M2 version of the 400C w/ a different CPL ?? Good engine but let’s be sure. —  Also, a  real good side view picture of the entire injection pump  will confirm it
