PCV on a F1 LQ9 Hey guys I have a few questions about how you all are running the PCV/ crank case vent lines in your 15 psi + cars. I have read that doing 3/4 inch vents on each valve cover to a oil sep. catch can works fine, Others say to run a vacuum pump. What are your thoughts???? Please post up some pics of how you did your cars!!!! Thanks in advance.

We are building my ventilation system as we speak... We are doing -10 lines from each valve cover (with a small baffle inside the valve cover) and running the lines to the rear of the car where we will have both lines plumbed into an aluminum catch can with a vented breather....
I am also using my original LS6 valley pan with the vent tube from it running to another small catch can just for the sake that its already on the car.
So two -10 vents and the small 3/8" valley pan vent. Nothing being connected to vacuum or recirculated to the blower/intake.
You want NO oil being sucked into the blower...or intake for that matter.
Ofcourse a vacuum pump is always good for power but not really needed on a street cruiser.
