Interesting. Regarding the trask setup, as much as I respect them as innovators and makers of great forced induction kits, I dont care for the transmission cover vent, since with the OE setup, the gunk has somewhere to go, even if its in your intake tract and burning in your combustion chambers. Venting to atmosphere with no vacuum aslo gets some of it out at least, at the cost of minimal crank case vacuum and a mess. But the vent to the trans cover, IF youve plugged your oe ports that allow the gunk to be slightly vacuumed into the intake, will keep the stuff in your oil, as it is just going to come out of the umbrellas, make its way to the top cover, and go right back into the oil supply, and therefore, only build up in your oil and dilute the oil with water and fuel.
It does exactly what you need it too.
And It keeps my air intake fairly clean.

It's the same one ...and there are different ones, from rubbish to decent 2 or 3 port. Ron there already did a stack of very thorough and methodical testing and wasn't sure about vacuum or not. His series on this stuff is worth a watch.

The small amount that decondenses on the reed or other parts inside the chamber isn't of any consequence.
It's still not being re-ingested and burned.

Hummm... It's interesting, I just don't know how important it is to tie anything to intake. I get you are just using for a lower relative pressure, but that is all cycle dependent. If other stuff isn't right and anyone has reversion it's different. We know there is blow by from rings to some degree, things heat and cool... A vent is a vent. It vents. Is the juice worth the squeeze?

And nobody made the case engines are "failing". Just because it's done, does't mean it's good and causing no problems. Before 1960s...they just vented, and we all managed to live through it.
