A normal PCV system is how ALL modern cars have it, even the super high performance cars, so it cant be such a bad thing?

If there was that much oil in the cylinder to reduce the octane lavels significantly to cause a problem, you have other problems you should be more concerned with? In Europe that's certainly not a problem. And now they claim to sell even 100 oktane fuels... But in the US? What's the highest they have? 85? And that's where all those system come from & are used for drag racing where every little bit matters... For road use it's probably pointless. Anyway; I'm fitting one just for the fun of it. 
Another point would be to monitor the vacuume created with a Evacusump. Obviously you don't want to have TOO much negative pressure and suck out oil where it should stay 
Cheers, Jan [X] nail here for new monitor |

Us octane is not the same as European octane. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Why not solve the problem of having to fit an evacusump system and just fit Total seal gapless rings, thus pretty much eliminating blow by. Then a Normal PCV system will do the rest the benefit of a vacumed sump is nothing to do with blowby and everything to do with reducing windage losses in the crankcase. Fancy rings won't help. If your fitting one of these to help with blowby, your engine needs a rebuild. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

I cant see how reducing the pressure in the crankcase can have any measurable effect on windage losses.

Why would you need a vacuum pump of any sort? Can't the exhaust just be used an ejector to draw a vacuum? |

If you suck on the sump it helps the oil mist fall out of the air and back to the sump, so there is less oil hitting the crank.

My objective with the evacusump system is to reduce oil leakage, especially from the rear main bearing on my inline A series. There is apparently an issue with the lubrication of the distributor with this system - a good reason for throwing it away, probably (the distributor, that is ) I agree with evolution that if you are trying to cure an oil burner you are not tackling the problem, more the symptoms.

Thats going a bit exteme, anyway what use would it be to have an A series engine on the moon
