Maybe --don't know, all I know is this cost me like $10 total.<br>Can't beat that.<br>Ran it today, no leaks, hose is dry, and grommet seals nice<br>

IF T'was me, and I wanted something along that line, I'd do it an easier way, and simply mount the new breather right onto or into the existing oil fill cap/opening that's already sitting there - no need to remove and modify the valve cover or nothin'! Why make ANOTHER opening in the valve cover when a perfectly good one is already there?
That's the way it's been done for many years on lots of vehicles... BUT, whatever floats yer boat

Hey... I like that idea! ;D Can you please post a pic of how you routed your breather hose? I would suspect that you did this without having any "low spots" in it where oil could accumulate and block the breather tube. I would think if it's a straight shot up to the valve cover without any bends, that would be a good thing because gravity would prevail but I just want to see your breather hose setup.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>

Don't have a pic, one good thing is it is almost straight down to the motor mounts so the hose goes down to it, kinda looped sideway toward the firewall to keep away from the exhaust then just below the motor mount to the axle. so no low spots. also did a angle cut so airstream makes a vacumme to draw air out.<br> The thing about my setup, is the front of the valve cover is unchanged and the item is hard to see under the firewall so it is cleaner looking.
