I like the look but I always worry about lighting mods impacting visibility. The short wheelbase already has me thinking everyone is tailgating me and the drivers in NC are not the best.? or
Also I continue to be surprised that the states have not made all mods to stock lighting illegal. This is simple and attractive but I’ve seen some really dumb stuff … like when the Acura guys used to bake the headlight bezels on the TL to remove the yellow tint of the indicators.
coming together nicely.Roof Rack installed. Need to get some better pictures taken.

That's what the factory air/oil separator does. Valve contamination on direct injected engines is not a new phenomenon. Manufacturers have been aware of the issue since fuel economy and emission requirements drove their industry-wide adoption in the early 2000s. Ford has implemented various strategies (a factory-installed air/oil separator, changes to fuel injection and valve timing, etc.) to mitigate the issue.
Millions of Ford's direct injected EcoBoost engines have been in operation the world over for more than a decade. If Ford's mitigating strategies were ineffective there would be widespread reports of driveability issue related to valve contamination--like there were with VW and Audi cars in the mid-to-late 2000s.
The only situation I think a catch can would be advantageous is if you run modified software (a tune). Increasing engine power on turbocharged engines typically includes increasing boost pressure and the need to higher octane fuel to increase detonation safety margins. Increasing boost pressure can (and likely will) increase crankcase pressure, which means more oil and oil vapors moving through the PCV system. If you increase the amount of oil vapor going back into the cylinders it can significantly affect the overall mixture octane. In this situation, removing more of the oil vapor than the stock air/oil separator would be very beneficial.

Holy Shit Batman you had to take all that apart for a pull bar ?Absolutely. Front end and the Rough Country brackets.
Grab some fishing line or dental floss (floss breaks easy) run it behind the letter in a saw like motion. Your choice of glue remover for the residue. It is even easier if you have a heat gun or a really hot day it's been sitting in the sun.

With some warm weather starting I was finally able to add an engine cover to hide some of the unsightly wiring and tubing. Pretty easy install. Now if I can only get my hands on a hood insulator pad! Also installed the low profile Ford window visors.
