It reduces air pressure so stops oil going past piston rings |

just wondering if it was any good because I read about it in Vizard's engine tuning book and he seemed to like it. It probably wouldn't take up much room also become it's only a few hoses. |

i reckon vizard mentions it due to the 'race' orientation of the engines he is building/recommending, if the engine is spending alot of time revving at high rpm then one of these advanced breather systems would be worthwhile (i think i'm right in what i'm saying)
