[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 96664, member: 60"] I am afraid I will give you conflicting information our egli twin we raced sucessfully for years had just two breathers front one (like a comet) on the exhaust valve cap and the rear one on the inlet valve the pipe had just a slight upward sweep a small pcv vavle and down to a catch tank. tests have shown that with a good pcv valve gas flow through the valve is at a minimum a short time after start up and a slight vacuum is created in the crankcase While after a season there was a tea spoon of oil in the catch tank the reason is that our engine was an efficient pump the pistons and bore were tip top nothing will keep the oil in if gas pressure is reaching the crankcase [/QUOTE]
