Thanks very much-
Second question in regards to timing case pressure:
I haven't hooked up this new experiment yet, and I am still using a version of the OEM breather catch can.
In my current setup, the crank case breather tube goes to the bottom of the catch can (with OEM duckbill location). The timing case tube goes to the bottom of the catch can (as in OEM setup). I have the third bottom hole plugged, and I have my primary case plugged. The vent tube coming out of the top of the catch can, which used to go into my OEM air cleaner, now is open to the air- no duckbill, no PCV, nothing.
It is my belief that this open tube is causing a loss of pressure in the timing case, which is in turn reducing the effectiveness of my duckbill which creates a vacuum in the crankcase line.
I am also under the impression that in the OEM setup, this would still be the case. In other words, in the OEM catch can setup, the timing case experiences a loss of pressure due to the OEM airbox tube.
Please let me know if I'm being dense. I want to understand this ridiculous system so I can try and figure out my best solution.
Thanks!
