The Internet is full of all kinds of false information, so what will it harm if I, someone who knows from schooling, and years in the business, presents some facts to back up what I am saying?
I am not expecting all to believe 100% of what I say, just plant the seed so that those who don't will go and examine facts presented by those who do infact have those very facts.
I'll say one last thing and leave it as that, as myself trying to post here just seems to get some in an uproar when they don't like the facts I present.....
Would any of you pull out the dipstick from its tube and drive your truck around? See what those engine pulses will do, if you do decide to try it. Pulses, vacuum and positive pressure...

I wasnt scolding, just warning that the flames should go to PM. (if any were to arise.)
I thought the content of the post was spot on. You confirmed what I was thinking while reading this thread. I dont have the schooling, just the weekend warrior and past project cars. So that post sort of confirmed what I believed.
The way the post was made, could be construed as a "shot". so to cut off any issues, I made that post. it wasnt an attempt to belittle you, or anyone else.

Some info for you guys to do what you want with.
On all our cars, race or otherwise, we run the system closed. No venting of the gasses. BY doing such the breather system works cleaner and also uses the vacuum to help seal the rings in the engine.
Yes, the little amount of vacuum wasted out the vent will help seal the rings. Doing such allows for less oil use, better power, and no chance of oil spray coming out of the breather making a mess or catching fire.
This has been proven many times over with Pro engine builders.
My can is mounted inline with the breather hose.

This thead is 14 years old and all the posters (except me) are gone now. You'd be better off starting your own thread in the 2nd gen Ram section. There's more active people there than this section.
