Blowing oil out rear main
Help!!!
See sig for build.
After build forgot to modify pcv and after a few good boosts blew oil out rear main.
Replaced rear main, reconfigured pcv to both valve covers y-d together to a catchcan. Catchcan to inlet hat on blower.
Worked fine for weeks.
Hose came off inlet hat and I didn't notice it right away. Now have quite a leak out rear main again. UGH!!!!
What am I doing wrong? There is no oil residue out exhaust so i'm thinking there's nothing wrong with the pistons or rings.
Thanks.

But honestly how much flow do I need to the catchcan. Is there really going to be that much pressure and if there is then i'd think there's a problem. Am I mistaken?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Your breathers ability to flow air should increase as much as the HP. If you double the HP of the stock engine, you should double the breathers ability for a nice safe set-up.

I put breathers on each line coming form the rear of the valve covers and on the front passenger line I run to catch can and then into the intake. I got tired of oil spraying all under my car due to the sloppy design on the inlet hat. Granted that was before I added a catch can so it probably wouldn't be as bad now.
