I was using a K&N crank case breather... Nothing internally to baffle oil. Fresh motor build. At idle, everything's ok. Driven in higher RPMs, oil sprays everywhere from that little breather. Huge Mess.

Did. This before and the builder went back through it because of oil loss. Not smoking much, just oil getting sucked up into the pcv valve and fed to the intake.

So here we are again. My thought is to use a baffled breather (and maybe even a catch can at the pcv valve?) or a crank case evac system like this to manage the blow by:

I understand the rings aren't yet seated on this new motor, but this is obviously unusual. If a leak down test shows nothing very telling, am I on the right track for managing the oil.. At least temporarily?

The build: 360 stroked to a 408. Eagle crank, H beam rods, forged pistons, aluminum heads, hydraulic roller cam 248/254 duration, 109 separation, roller rockers .600 lift, M1 intake, final compression is 10.5:1 - dyno'd great for the budget at 500hpp/520tq.

Just trying to figure out wtf is going on!!
