On the rear of the ea82 mpfi motor I got this morning there is what I think is an oil separator mounted on the passenger side of the short block (sits behind the flywheel); is this just found on mpfi turbo ea82's?

 

(See the thread on cl/ebay items for sale - ea82 motor - has a link to the cl ad with photos.)

Yeah all MPFI and MPFI turbos have it

No; I have another mpfim non-turbo engine, that does not have it. Maybe, I should rephrase the question: Are oil separators on ea82 mpfi motors just found on turbo blocks or is this an improvement that appeared one year on all mpfi blocks?

 

Yeah all MPFI and MPFI turbos have it

Ok that i dont know.

 

I have 1 89 mpfi and 88 turbo block, both have the same seperator
