It’s 1 -10, which I think the usual is 2 -8’s, but Paul said it’d be fine with one -10…however, I was thinking that today I should’ve done two just to be safe.  
Oh well…Mike had none on his 508whp, so I think I’ll be guud.

I set the rev limiter to 3000rpm and let my friend take my car to the store, because his is parked way in the back of campus and mine is right next to the library where we are.

Comes back 5 minutes ago:

Rebuilt passenger’s side front axle. Timing belt, Water pump, cam seals, crank seal, tensioner, serpentine belt.

But they sent me the wrong fucking valve cover seal(SOHC instead of DOHC), so now i gotta wait another 4 days for that. My headers and intake are in the mail though, so that’s good.

1 should be plenty. That’s a lot of blow by for such small displacement if you really needed 2

You should have a bung on the turbo inlet to suck the gasses out of the crank case and supply some vacuum. IMO  
The drop in power from slightly contaminated intake air would be made up for with better ring seal.

Honda spent a lot of time designing a very positive crank case evac system and everyones first mod is to bypass it with a cold air intake and a stupid breather filter. It kills me!

idk what the usual is but mine and Brooks is 2 -10’s, mike didnt run any on his red car and he ended up blowing the dipstick out and oil started to blow out around his valve cover gasket. Like Paul said you will be fine but i went with 2 because its that “better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it” sorta thing

Youre more than fine Joey. It looks alot cleaner with the one. A tight built motor like a factory Honda doesn’t need a crutch for piston ring blow by and crack case pressure. Big clearance forged engines with low tension rings are a different issue.
