Reply to "Valve cover breathers / PCV advice"

MAN!!!....Do I ENJOY this Website!!...Members who can take a joke, have skins thicker than a defective Chinese condom, Great information.

Now here's my dilemma!!!....TOO much oil in the valve covers leaves the possibility for oil starvation, especially during track conditions ie: Hard braking/acceleration/cornering/continuous high rpms.

Yet a certain level ( HIGH) in the valve covers is needed for valve cooling.

I was contemplating return oil lines from the valve covers back into the oil pan as per the illustration that Doug provided.

The photo Doug provided shows the return lines from the valve covers situated very LOW in the valve cover.

Would this LOW oil return line/s prevent the necessary build up/level in the valve cover to effectively cool the valve springs??!!

Seems like a better solution would be valve spring oil sprayers positioned in the top of the valve covers, spraying the cooling oil directly on the springs & then allowing return lines placed at the lowest level of the valve covers allowing the quickest scavenging/returning of the oil BACK into the oil pan.

Or maybe I'm reinventing the wheel with added plumbing in the valve covers ( sprayers) & the BEST solution is to allow the valve covers to fill to cool the valve springs & utilize an oil pan with MASSIVE oil capacity.

I'd like to have oil sprayers that spray oil into the underside of the pistons as some engines do...video attached...

Has anyone utilized piston sprayers in there 351 Cleveland?!...Mark
