Lost on LS7 pcv system.
<snip>As far as my motor goes, its unfortunate when someone puts money into something to have it fail. I'm glad to hear that none of your motors have let go.....yet. But man would it suck if one did, wouldn't it? I only hope for your sake that you don't have to go through my pain because Murphy would have really fucked you.<snip>
<snip>Next time you should omit yourself from a conversation if:
A. You can't tell from a posters description whats going on.
B. Give the right information and correct description
C. Not take offense when someone points out what you said is incorrect.
But, thanks for your clarification once its said and done.

Thanks for the drawing, that helps. What do you think about just capping off both sides of the blue dirty side line and putting breathers on both valve covers? That way, I wouldn't be introducing any additional unmetered air into the engine, just equalizing any pressures and venting from the valve covers.
I'll post another drawing this evening showing the correct way to configure breathers for your engine.
Its all set and done! Got the new motor in, and its making sick power. Definitely better than before
. I will hopefully be hitting the rollers sometime this week, so I'm quite excited. Thanks for the kind words. 405HP_Z06 & Haans249
No offense would have been taken if the lol had been omitted.
I can accept constructive criticism, but not sarcasm, without a problem, that's how you learn (or catch your mistakes). I don't turn the other cheek well, it's something I've not been able to do since 1971.
At my age I have to proof-read everything that I post (usually multiple times) because my advancing CRS syndrome and still I miss stuff.
I have a shelf in the shop for parts from notable failures in the past (dating from 1961), it's just above where my measuring instruments are kept.
Haans, if you save any failure stuff, may your shelf be small.

My shelf now has one snapped rod/piston, i hope thats all it ever sees as well.
Best.

If your going to vent the crankcase to atmosphere, you will be introducing unmetered air. In this configuration, the breathers will flow in both directions. This configuration is real messy most of the time, ultimately spraying a fine mist of oil all over the engine bay.
I'll post another drawing this evening showing the correct way to configure breathers for your engine.

I can't see the breathers pulling in any air, there should be very little to no vacuum at the port in front of the throttle body.

Verdad Gallardo Its not imperative. All that you need to do is circulate the air out of the crankcase. Having one valve cover hooked to the throttlebody without a T will accomplish the same thing as both of them hooked up, just won't be QUITE as efficient.
Here is what I would recommend. This would be the least invasive to the car and vent the PCV. The catch can w/breather should eliminate oil spray problems. Let me know what you think.

Agree with Haans249 on the other.

Hey Aaron: Thanks, that looks pretty good, but seeing as I have a valve cover breather and do not have a catch can with a breather what about hooking the green line from the dry sump tank to the valley cover and running the valve cover breather? Do you think this will put out too much oil mist in the engine bay? Is that why you recommend a catch can with breather?

Thanks Aaron for the explanation of where the PCV valve equivalent is located.
How does the PCM adjust fueling for the PCV's contribution to the intake charge?
BTW great drawings, what program do you use for these?

I made all of my own shapes in Visio. I was using Excel, but it looked pretty corny.

You can do this. There are many ways to plumb systems depending on what parts your using, amount spent, and required system efficiency.
