Orrist, I agree w/ you. I've been quiet on that lately, I've typed and researched myself hoarse on this. Just capping things is a quick way out, re-routing does take some time and parts. Doing these Groove jobs in the field, it exacts a price in time and $$ to do it right, IMHO. Could be done as a future job as a follow-up. It would require a decent on hand stock of hoses in different diameters, different fittings, clamps, etc.
I've spent some time coming up w/ my own ideas on re-routing and oil separators, and have posted a lot here re: this stuff. IT's here for anyone who cares to look a bit.
In any case JV did get a win w/ this Ford, IMHO.
