I read man threads about the krankvents and eventually end up buying a set. I only used one of the vents as if I install the second it will create a vacuum in the engine.

Is creating a vacuum in the engine desirable ?

That's one of the main purposes of the KV. Its a good thing - more power, less oil burn, better engine sealing.

Kane, I'll be ordering a new set from you shortly for my new engine build.

Yeah I gutted mine as well. However, I dont understand how your krank vent can fail. Those things are good to like 50psi.

what you mean by gutting it????

Thank you for the follow up. So the main purpose of the BOTH krankvents is to create vacuum in the engine.

Could you guys point me to the breakdown of how creating vacuum in the engine will make more power? Is the engine really design to be sealed?

Please forgive me if I am being repetitive.
