GDM,
Correct a 1/8th of the price, but like Kane says......You get what you pay for. They are brass not nice and polished. Maybe I will put up a picture of mine so you all can see. That work for you guys?

7775K62 Brass Spring-Loaded Piston Check Valve 1/4" Nptf Dryseal Male Connections, Viton Seat
That's the one I used. There was something about them that built up pressure, not vacuum in the crank case. The one on the front cover may not have been able to vent enough gas.

It seems that the 3/8" McMaster ones are the minimum required. If I have the chance, I'll try them out. In the end it will cost more than a set of KrankVents, but I do have two turbo cars to put them on.

TIMG,
Correct. Anything under 3/8th I believe would be undersized as that would be a smaller diameter than the stock line. Honda did the leg work and found out what size to use for us, so I would only go 3/8th or bigger. Good luck all.

I will be going to have local guru Mike Angel from FactorX engineering fame out here in Vegas to diagnose my almost lack of boost on my comptech...Is it possible that the PCV valve can be the culprit? I know for sure it is functional, as I can hear it working when I test it(valve when you shake it and listen), but I do not know if it directly or indirectly causes my almost lack of boost in the car...anyone?
