No thats the opposite. Then the crankcase wont relieve pressure cause the exhaust is pushing the ccv back in

I'm talking about regular heater hose. What type hose are you talking about and what amount of blowby did they have? Some of the heater hose sold is an expensive silicon-based variety that would work. A standard oil soaked heater hose will not last. A standard heater hose with minimal blowby might. Let's be specific.

That stuff will eventually get swollen up squishy soft and fall apart. Just depends how much oil gets on it for how long. Go for it.

Soo... How do you guys know that at high boost/rpm/load, that the exhaust pack pressure is not higher than the venturi pressure? I could see if you ran it out to the tip, but there's a lot of bends and such... Just saying... it's not worth trying for me...

I'm no expert, and I like trying new stuff as much as anyone... But it's not worth the chance of blown seals for me.

I agree for the most part, just run it out the back and be done. When the wind is just right I get the CCV in the cab but its not that big of a deal to me.

Don't see the prob either way,NOT,a deisel tech but..have run this system on my cars for many years.Put the oneway a.i.r valve in the system and it would work fine.Your exhaust temps and rpms will not get close to what I have run.IE 7-8000 rpms for 20/50/100 laps without failures.Would replace the hose every year just because.358/388 smallblock,correct me if I'm wrongI know someone will
