PCV theory and selection.
I'm experiencing some high crankcase pressures. The bottom end has less than 100miles on it after a fresh rebuilt. the rings were reused because they didn't even have 1000miles on them and looked to be fine.
I get no smoke out the rear and it is running really clean. But the pressure leaks oil out the breathers and blows the intake seal at the back.
Would it be better to run a PCV and a breather, or does 2 breathers allow even more ventilation?
If I need a PCV, then which type flows the more air?
I'm running a 383ci carb setup, so i have a good vacuum reference, but will the stock TPI PCV flow enough air to serve the purpose?
