Howdy, I have a pcv question. I made three highly artistic diagrams to show what im talking about :lol:.
#1, This is how I have it now, and I dont think it will work cause I dont have a breather.
#2, I Could get a breather oil cap, and leave the same 2 pcv setup. Idk why, but I thought I might as well run 2 of them since I had them on hand. Idk if this will make it work the same, or work worse.
#3, I could have one pcv on one side, and a breather on the other.
What do you think?

I would get some valve covers that don't have the PCV in it. Or just get some breathers for the covers. PCV is emissions crap, hot rods don't need that stuff.
-
The engine has to 'breathe' some how. If there is no PCV, it needs a breather tube like the 55-62(?) SBC. The PCV is just to filter it so it doesn't blow oil all over the under side of the car. Go with #2. You need some sort of breather and at least one relief (PCV) valve. Two will work since you have them.

I thought 3 would be good.

You only need once PCV valve in one Cover, it breathes for the whole motor, no need for the crossover between 2 valve covers, its all connected via the Lifter valley anyways...

ok thanks for the answers guys. I have another question already though :lol:
Anyone know where I can find a breather cap that has a 3/4" neck that is the push-in (into a rubber grommet) type? I should probably call MN hotrod hardware.

yeah I think he has em at a good price too cheaper than speedway if i remember right.
