^Thank you for that information. So on the STI, the plastic/metal pipe that connects the valve breathers, is that a 5/8 hose fitting?
We installed a crankcase evacuation system on mine yesterday. Welded a bung and check valve to the downpipe at a 45 degree angle. A hose then goes from the check valve to the crank case port (near the turbo) and PCV. It certainly works, providing constant vacuum to the crank case. Will it cure my oil consumption problem? Time will tell.

Cool stuff. It may have just been the motor that it was on. It had excessive blow by any ways from a mechanical issue.

I have mine un-capped, and T'eed into the drivers side head breather. I recently tore down my intake and noticed a lot of oil through out the intake track... I have been consuming around 1/2 quart every 1000 miles. I purchased a catch can last week and will install it in line with the breathers to capture the blowby.
On a side note, I posted many many times years ago concerning leaking cam seals, and sure enough I went through 2 or 3 of them right after my initial build due to having the port blocked! |

Sorry if this is going to sound dumb but I'm going to throw it out there anyway:
Has anyone tried running a catch can and an AOS? 1) The catch can for the head breathers and pcv 2) the AOS would be for the 2nd crankcase vent. Anyone? |

I've posted this elsewhere. But here it is again.
I think this is a great picture for this (borrowed from slorice): For 2.5 heads - it makes sense to hook up the new 2.5 block breather. For 2.0 heads...[/quote] Good Reference, here is how my Hard Breather line ended up. 200 Miles on New Hybrid, with 272 Cams, No problems yet. still tuning. |

On the 257 valvecovers, the plastic piece has dual barb fittings where the 205 has only one. My question is: on the 257 piece, are the 2 ports simply side by side and go to the exact same place in the valvecover or are they separated? I'm just wondering if I machine a new piece that has dual fittings to replace the plastic single port piece if that will work for the center crank vent routing.

then what would be the point of a catch can with the evac setup also? my whole point in the catch can vs evac setup is that the evac setup there is nothing to drain it just gets burned up ones it hits the dp, catch can i will have to empty it and i dont feel like going the routing it back into the pan way either. |

I'm running a Ej257 Shortblock with 2.0 Heads. Tomorrow I will be taking off my valve covers and tapping both VC's then T'ing the center crank case breather into the VC's.
I will update as soon as i finish. |

I want to caution you guys about draining your catchcan back into your oil pan. What gets caught in the can is not just oil. You have unburnt fuel and condensed water vapor in there too. Dumping that back into the system is a recipe for disaster. Don't believe me? Empty your can into a glass jar and let it sit a while to separate. Yuck.
Edit: for clarification, running the line from the center, unbaffled port on the 2.5 block into the valve covers is correct. What I stated above is in reference to the mess the catchcan pulls out of the other ports. |

If its draining back to the pan its a air/oil seperator, a catch can does just what its called. Im using the crawford aos and have been thinking of using a evac bung instead for vaccum, the large turbos pull way too much. Also the stuff that drains back to the pan will get burnt back up after the motors warmed up. I havent had any problems with it other than it pulling more vapor through it than I want after some high boost runs.

I think you are fine with the Crawford piece as it was designed properly. The Grimmspeed AOS is a terrible design.

Can someone clarify the need for this. Is it just for high boost applications?
I am building a MILD hybrid using the stock TD04, Tuned for E85. Not sure how much boost it will be capable of? 15PSI maybe if I'm lucky. Can I cap the extra crankcase breather? Or maybe just run the breather to ONE of the valve covers? Seems like the pressure under the valve cover should be equal to the pressure in the crankcase, so what is the point of the plumbing? Thanks |

Wouldn't an AOS solve this problem?
