Happy New Year everyone.
I need some advice; can I run a hose from one head to the other, put a T in the line and vent both heads back to the oil filler nipple and still let the heads breathe or will this cause a pressure lock in the system?
An Inquiring mind needs to know.

You need to add another line to an external vent. CB Performance, and others sell a simple box that allows the lines to connect and vent any pressure outside while minimizing the oil vapors that excape into the engine compartment.

at a minimum you need to have the crankcase open to the atmosphere.
for instance, tee the head vents together. Then run that hose to a tee with the oil filler fitting, that has a small vent filter on the tee.

Are you running carbs or original FI? That will make a difference.

Buy the CF breather tank. Not cheep, but works as it should.
Go to page 8 on this thread for product and install pics:

you will create to much pressure with no place for it to release.
Wont work.

I'm running carbs. I plan on buying the vent box/tank sometime in the future. Thanks for the advice everyone.
