If you have a low section in the hose the hose will fill with oil and you no longer have a ccv system. Pressure builds in the crankcase and you start blowing main seals, spewing oil, and they're no fun to fix. You have to make sure that the hose does a continuous down hill course or at least level along the frame rail. Anywhere in the run where oil can collect will come back to haunt you in a serious way.

Mitch is right, I've seen motors we used to run on our old dyno that navy diesel techs assembled where they forgot to leave a breather hole open, or forgot to have any ccv at all, we saw one that turned the front cranks seal inside out. Slobbered oil everywhere. I ran mine into the exhaust, ill post up some pics soon.

I have to do something else too. Mine has too much smoke and a gawd awful smell to it even run all the way back to the gas tank.

Thinking i'll run a trap filter and route back up to the intake.
