But I have a bunch of oil seeping out the vanos area, and my OFHG seems to have failed early, I wonder if don't have enough vacuum on the M56 CCV port.

I think the M56 CCV needs a lot of vacuum...I haven't measured it, but I was thinking of running a second small vacuum hose from the nipple on the hose you used to the distribution pipe that runs across the top of the manifold... Thoughts?
I’m likely going to do that when I make a better hose. I’m not convinced that there will be more vacuum, though.

Also, I don’t really see how the OFHG would have anything to do with that? That’s at oil pump pressure, not crankcase pressure.
