pcv/breather q's again
 
I got a Jaz catch can, the mini one, and it has two inlets... for like 3/8 hose.

My question is whether I would to run a hose from each valve cover and whether that would be enuff compare to the Metco breather I am currently running. What if I looped the valve covers and ran one 3/8 hose to the catch can, would that be too restrictive? Any rule of thumb here?

i ran breathers, one for each valve cover hose inlet, and have the stock oil cap
so i guess it would work.
that seemed to give enough venting.
probably gonna try merging the two valve cover lines into my catchcan then to the vent.
i probably already tried that too ive tried so many things. i think that worked.

so..

1. Metco Oil Breather filter

2. driver side rear connected to passenger side rear looped into catch can with a small breather on the other side of catch can.

* if you have the ls6 pcv...it would go ls6 pcv - passenger - driver - catch can - small breather

Well the Metco is basically one step away from running around with no oil fill cap.

I'm looking at this Jaz setup and my feeling is that running just one 3/8 rubber hose into it is not going to be enough crankcase ventilation. So then I wonder if two 3/8 hoses are enough.

I am not running an LS6 pcv system. I am not running any pcv hose back into the TB or intake manifold inlet.
