Default Evac kit

I have run tanks from the valve covers for years
Stop running breathers on the valve covers as they
tend to leak if you are spinning things at 7500 rpm
I have found that if you keep each side separate they
tend to dump things out.. if you tie them together then
it balances things out

The ones on the Pantera dump into a T and then to a catch tank
I empty it usually when I change the oil which is before I go to
a track event.. it will smoke slightly if I go hammer it for a while
then idle along afterwards

The ones on the Bird hit a tank also but I also have a T
that goes to the carb with a pvc valve between... never
drain that tank or have smoke coming out of the breather
That's on a 494 cubic inch engine with a 750 lift cam
and 1050 cfm carb so lots of flow going somewhere
