Ok,the rockers should feed 2 separate ports or be Teed together for a 2 port. The crank case breather goes to the other port & the PCV must be blancked off both on the manifold & where it goes on to the crank case breather. If it's not set up as described you may have a serious breather problem.

Ok, it looks like all breathers go to 1 port on the tank. The best tank is an OBP 3 port, but a 2 port can work. Crank case needs it's own port then 1 or 2 ports for rockers.

ok buy new tank might try with three bottles tomorrow and see what happens, does it matter on the height the tank is fitted as mine is mounted to the rear of the engine bay just on top of the chassis leg

mine is 2 port with the crank and head breathers tee-d together and into one port and the other port goes back into inlet.didnt see the point in replacing loads of pipe work when the original pipes all end at the inlet so just took feeds from there.
excuse the crap pipework it came with kit but replacing with black hose.

The location sounds OK. As a rule the higher up the better but not vital.

What difference does it make how many ports? As all the ports are interconnected in the engine, ie blow in the drivers rocker and the air will come out the left side and the crank and vice versa.
I personally have my two heads VTA then the PCA is left as is.
