That would be a deal breaker for me. I hope you never have a rocker pop off or a valve cover gasket leak.Quote:

If you knew how much the guys at Eurospec do on my car, you'd know that it wouldn't be the end of the world lifting the engine a bit.
For example I still have the dog box that will need fitting at some point, ducting and shrouding are on the list too.
The guys there hate working on my car because its always something difficult or unique that I get them to do, in other words......painful jobs!

Apparently, these are a good investment Ben says.

Luckily, James had some in stock so they are winging their way to Eurospec.

krank vents? :suspect:
Apparently they keep negative pressure in the sump, thus reducing / preventing any blow by...........so I'm told.
André
the joke is in me being flabbergasted that someone doing a MASSIVE build like this hasn't ever heard of krank vents, or of what they do.Quote:

Are you keeping the dual catch tank? Why do you need a crank vent? I would vent the crankcase as much as possible with a buildlike that and run all four valve cover ports straight to the can with 1/2" ID hose and plug in the lower plenum riser.
Now you're going beyond my knowledge.
This is how the dual catch cans were rigged up before and I assume will be again, as well as running the Krank vents to maintain negative pressure in the sump.

The only difference was I quickly swapped out the plastic piping for metal overbraided lines.

Bring the drivers side ports back to the breather cans too. There's two more over there. The one you're using off of the velocity stack should be capped. You're just straight venting the crankcase. When you stuff a crapton of boost pressure in there you want as much open vent as possible or you'll blow the dipstick thru the hood.
