Yep - I suffered with Rear Main leaks on my modded Pontiac 400 block. Especially after upping the horsepower. I tried everything - ditched the Rope Seal and went with Viton, tried various PVC set-up's, Catch Cans, etc.

I don't know what it is with Pontiac Engines making so much Crankcase pressure?

Finally went with a Butler Crankcase Evac Kit - expensive, but it works great. Problem solved.
I think its the rpm's..a factory 455 would maybe see 5200 rpm ...maybe 5500...mine can see 6500..big difference .Engine is an air pump works both ways.
