After battling motor throwing oil over my motor for the past 3 years, I am trying a breather can option. From this pic from another thread:



I was going to run the 2 rear valve cover ports to breather can like shown here. For the front port of passenger side valve cover, I was going to use the small breather to let fresh air back in. However, I was hoping to put a one-way valve there to keep oil from coming out, only air going in. Would a regular PCV valve work there? I am not sure breather can would be sufficient to allow fresh air back in. If so, it would be simpler to plumb the 3 ports to breather can and go with that.

Thoughts? TIA

I run three breather cans and drain about 8 oz total in all three after 5 sessions on the track. The motor is a forged Lingenfelter. I get razzed about my breather can farm, but it's working and I don't have a bunch of oil going into my intake.

Do you just let the breather cans provide the fresh air supply?

Yes, and it seems to work fine. When you think about it, the stock system only had the intake connection for fresh air and that connection would have been scavaging the blow by more than adding air.

I have two 1 qt catch cans that I never used if you want them. Just add breathers and hose. NIB. Just pay shipping, I need them out of my office.

You will want to use one for each VC.
