My builder recommended to me a breather in each valve cover and a PCV valve in the rear of the manifold to the base of the carb. I wanted no breathers or PCV in the valve covers, just a puke tank to the back of the manifold. He says for the street this is no good, because the engine isn't ventilated enough and it starts to build up gunk quickly in the engine. He says the puke tank setup was fine for the comp cars because they were always being torn down, etc. For a street driven car without the constant cleaning and tear down of a race car, it just isn't good. Anyone hear this or otherwise? It's not too late, I'd really like to do a puke tank, but not at the expense of my engine.
