I've got individual breather ports off the heads and run individual hoses, no crossover. Melted one of the hoses and pulled both off, ran it like that for a while and no oil misting onto the engine. Must have a good ring seal and the Ultima breather system is a good one, can hear it huffing at idle with the hoses off

Obviously engine,I mean motors don't run as clean running a factory pcv system,they want to protect the atmosphere not the motor,lol, two things are clear in the picture,way too much oil in the vent system and definitely not the same piston,lol they should at least use a piston with the same valve relief in them.
Texas,I'm not saying don't run to atmosphere!!!! He probably should....with an oil collector vent system.
