Come on guys. Nobody has experimented with these evac systems, using the pcv and not using the pcv?

I haven't gone this way yet but I have been doing some reading on the subject. Since you will be creating a vacumn in the engine crankcase with pump the pvc would never work as the check valve would always be pulled down because of the vacumn created by the evac pump. I read that you could have too much evac and start pulling oil away from the bearing so ???? makes a calibrated vent that is installed in the oil pan so when engine/crankcase vacumn hits a certain point it allows air into the crankcase prvent the oil starvation problem. I was searching for Stefs when I canme across the vent. alan

Evac systems don't work well enough to pull the ball down, since they barely make any vacuum at all. You could probably get away with it, but it won't be nearly as effective as just doing it the right way.
