That's what I thought? I mean isn't that what I paid for? 40 bucks for two one way valves! So my cynical self I have to blow in both ends, and ya know it works! One way only. :cheers:

I like TrailBeast idea of putting in an ajustable valve in case of over vacuum

I hate to ask the almost obvious, but if youre developing that much crankcase pressure, and youre not supercharged,...... where do you surmise that all that pressure is coming from?

no need for ball valves to restrict vacuum, you will never pull that much vacuum with this setup

I'm assuming here, and that's not good! It was the 318 I had, it was blowing oil everywhere. It was built by lord knows who - with lord knows what! I've heard this a lot on this forum - "I got this old motor and found some good heads and slapped this big cam in it and it runs like a bat out-0- hell ! " well this was one of those motors
spuwing oil (after resealing), smoking endlessly, but did run like a" bat out -0- hell" til I held third gear through the 1/4 mile that's when "all hell broke loose" (or at least the #3 & #4 rod bearings) LOL I have a new build and don't want any pcv problems. I would like to avoid using the carburetor or intake manifold for pcv. I don't mind smelling hot oil with the 3 breathers on the valve covers, but will this be enough?
Monkey see monkey do- I've seen it on cars at the dragstrip and thought it a good theory?

-So do I read your post right, that you are attempting to band-aid a worn out engine? Or do I misunderstand your post?
-I had A 292/.509 cam, 11.2 c/r motor for a while. I installed just one, standard, comes-on-all, Mopar V-8s since the early 70s, Plastic PCV valve, and just one Mr.Gasket breather.I built it with file-fit Plasma Moly rings. The system worked perfectly.
-I highly recommend that you employ that OEM type system. It works.. As long as the valve cover under the breather is well baffled,and/or screened, its never been a problem,for me. And it beats having the oil in the muffler, and leaking out the drainholes that I always put in the low-spots to drain the condensate that likes to eat exhaust systems like mine.
-Some guys relocate the breathers to a cross-over pipe, connecting the 2 covers. But theyre doing stuff I can only dream about doing. If your engine is anything at all like mine, it will be fine OEM style
-Oh I see now;You are looking to the future; Same answer/recommendation. And,File-fits or gapless.
