Canton Valve Covers Crank Case Ventilation
Hi guys,
I just ordered some canton valve covers for my heads/cam 355 build after I found out my factory valve covers were cracked. The potential issue I am seeing is that the breather hole is in the drivers side valve cover rather than the passenger cover the stock valve covers use.
My question is: what is the best way to vent the crank case pressure?
I would like to run a hose to the throttle body from the valve cover and maintain a closed system.
Can I just run a hose from the hole in the drivers side valve cover around the back of the intake manifold and to the throttle body or does it matter which valve cover this hose is connected to for the PCV system to function properly?
I would like to avoid having to cut a hole in the passenger valve cover if possible.
Thank you for your help.
