Works,  but doesn't pass tech as vent lines need to go to a catch  tank.


This would pass tech at an SVRA event. I think it is a viable device and  
once used a similar idea in a BMC Fomula jr.
 
However, in that case the car had a faulty rear main seal design (BMC) that  
always leaked on the clutch. We put a scavenger tube in the bell housing and 
ran  it to the exhaust header. It sucked up whatever came out and burned it up 
in the  exhaust.
 
I see nothing against the our rules if you vent the valve cover this way,  
unless you start smoking so bad that it is a nuisance.
 
That call is always up to the Chief Steward.
