But why does my vavle cover vent breather hose Y out, bigger tube going into intake before throttle body, while a smaller tube goes into the manifold peice that leads into the idle control valve?

Re: What's the easiest way to avoid pressure in the crank case?
Yeah. I'm thinking about a catch can setup. Do all of them come with a breather kit? Sorry I have very limited knowledge on this subject. One thting that concerns me though is that I will be boosting a stock LS motor, and my main thing is that it can last and be very reliable, trouble free. Also one of the biggest concerns is the crankcase venitlation of course (what this thread is about, lol) So I am contemplating running a good catch can setup with a breather. Besides the endyn kit which I think goes for about 160 bucks.
Does anyone have any experience with a setup like this, or any other catch can/breather setup. I'm looking for something that works great, which I'm sure the Endyn kit does, but I'm also looking for something waaay less expensive.
Thanks.

Re: What's the easiest way to avoid pressure in the crank case?
yes. the only thing a catch can does is contain all the nasty oil and grumy ---- that would otherwise go back into the air intake, or go straight out into the atmosphere. depending on what you have setup

I wanted to see what type of breather setups, and catch can setups work. Which ones were of quality and if some had better experiences with certain catch cans than others. Or it really doesn't matter. I can buy an ebay or make a homemade catch can myself, and they will all work easily. So pretty much the only way is either to ven to atmosphere or into catch can.
