Hi ive been looking in a few magazines lately and noticed alot of injected 5 liters use breathers (or catch cans)on the front of the rocker covers instead of running the hoses that feed back into the throtlebody.
Are these setups polution legal ???????
Are there any benefits in using these setups on a mild street engine?
My impression is that you should gain a bit of power since you are no longer feeding hot oily air back into the engine.
I pulled the manifold off my VP SS a few weeks ago to replace the inlet gasket and all the inlet runners were black .Is this caused by the crankcase gasses being feed back into the engine cos i looked at a spare pre polution 308 that i have and the runners are almost spotless and these engines dont feed crank gasses back into the engine.

Hi GMH1975.
All 253/253 V8s since the year zero have had PCV. Eliminating it will not gain any power.
The reason the old carby type manifold looks clean in the runners, is that it had been constantly cleaned by the air/petrol mix flowing thru it all |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
