Default Fixed my oil smoke/oil stink/pcv problems!

I think i finally found a solution to my smoke and stink problems. I was previously running both valve covers into a catch can with a breather on top but was still getting stink/smoke into the cab and even out the tailpipe sometimes. I mounted a vacuum pump from a 6.5 turbo diesel and routed the line to the top of my catch can. I took it for a bit of a drive and so far so good. Only problem is that it is kind of noisy, although i'd rather that than the stink!

Used the same belt. Took it for a drive today in the daylight and all smoke/stink is definetly gone. It kind of sounds like my old 6.5 though

You could run a slashcut tube into the downpipe, but I dont know about the emissions laws where you are...

Oh I didnt know how it was in canada. Its the same here in South Carolina, the only law it you have to have a muffler and I didnt even have that for a while. I see that you have twins, could you run one from each valve cover to each downpipe, that would work good??? Or 2 hoses into the catch can and one big one down to the exhaust? I dont know
