I am planning a TT 383.

Do you have one tank for each valve cover or do you only need one tank off one cover for the whole engine?

If I ran a return drain line back to the oilpan will it defeat the purpose of the PCV system?

I run one tank per side. I do not run a pcv on a forced induction engine. A drain back to the pan is fine and eliminates having to drain the tank, but many like to get that cruddy milky oil out of the engine (take a look inside a breather tank sometime), so they keep it separate and drain periodically.

Thanks Jody,

Excuse my ignorance on the PCV, but I know now. I appreciate the help.

no ignorance involved, there are guys who keep pcv with forced induction. I've just found it as one more thing to go wrong, i.e. pulling oil into the intake system. I prefer a pair of good breather tanks.

Jody-

Do you think that two vents, routed to tanks, would reduce pressure enough to solve the gasket issues without some sort of vacuum?

Jody did you run a setup like this on your 406 Procharger motor to?

no, I made a spiral baffle that fit inside the Moroso stands and K/N breathers in the valve covers; the engine had good leakdown numbers and this was fine, never pushed any oil out of the breathers.

If two #10 lines to breather tanks don't solve a pressure issue, then there's a seal problem with the engine; i.e. rings, valves, etc. It works fine for a forced induction or n/a engine that is in good shape, but may not fix something that has bad leakdown numbers. That needs to be repaired first.
