Alright here is where I am at....

When I first got the motor in the car and running this year (Aluminum 5.3 with a Vic Jr carbed) I was not running any type of PCV, I just had the valve covers vented to the atmosphere...

I was getting a ton of condensation in the motor (legit water drops under the oil fill cap it was so bad). So I installed an inline PCV valve and with the crankcase under vacuum it seemed to solve the problem.

Over the winter, I would like to eliminate the PCV setup and run a breather tank/ catch can...but I am not sure if I will end up back at square one. So my question is....how are you guys handling PCV/ Evac, tanks and etc?

Basically...I was just going to run a line from each valve cover into a breather tank...but should I run a vacuum source to it and install a valve or let it be?

Pictures and brief description of routing would be HUGE.

Thanks

For instance....would a setup like this be sufficient? I dont understand why this guy has two fittings from the valley running to the breather though?

I am thinking at this point I may just eliminate the PCV all together and run a single -10 or -12 from the valley cover to the breather/ catch can?

I also found this on here:



Looks like this guy is running twin -10s from each valve cover into the tank with no vacuum pulling....

In for a response. I want to do the -10 an into a vented catch can also. May have to change the oil more often if moisture still gets in there.

yea...that was the biggest thing with the way I had it vented to atmosphere before (esentially the same thing as having a -10 to a breatehr tank....the condensation was ridiculous.
