Guys,
First I thank all of you for the input.
Brent, my preliminary set up was three breathers, one on each valve cover and a third at the back, no PCV outlet, I knew I would need it but wanted to work my way up to it. After 40 minutes of original start up/cam break in I found a film of oil on on the base all three breathers, where upon I came up with the configuration shown above.
I don't have any track time planned as yet, but before I drop this motor into the car I want to solve problems such as the one being discussed.
Morris, I get your meaning, "a large volume of air to move" is the key phrase, I can see how the one-way filter disc would act as an oil filled clog and there may even me enough vacum due to air speed to collapse the hose?.
Is the catch can in your engine bay a custom fabrication? Looks like it, and can I ask what, if any filter medium are you using inside of it, or is the size of the can itself enough to control free floating oil.
Tru, are you running the type of breather SKJ2/Steve is providing a link to?
Mike, thanks for the confirmation, I know Morris knows what he is talking about but confirmation always helps.
Now if I am running street only, and I add the original catch basket as well as removing the filter disc, does that still leave me pi$$ing in the wind?....kind of?, I can also move up two sizes on my filter container as well, or maybe make all the changes mentioned?
Thanks for the thoughts fellas, your input is truly appreciated.
