air pump evac to replace pcv system
had the ride for a while now and its kind of embarrassing when people want to see under the hood,also after a winning a race as you slow down the burning oil cloud catches up with you. So i've spent most of the summer cleaning up under the hood and the last piece is the constant oil leak from the crappy stock valve covers along with most of the mods i've done that contributed to the issue. I've replaced them with some taller solid aluminum and new gaskets to go along with them.
Has anyone used the emissions air pump as a crank case evac system? I'm looking to either put my stock pcv system back in place or do something with the air pump to help with oil leaks
thanks for reading

Re: air pump evac to replace pcv system
well after doing some reading i'm thinking the air pump may not be a simple task
I see two options
1. hook up some sort of venturi in line to create the suction.
2. Reversing the direction of the pump and putting a liquid to air filter in line so separate the oil just like you put on your air compressor to keep moisture out of the lines.
Any other ideas?
