    I took a small piece of aluminum and bent it to fit under my breathers and drilled a small hole in my valve cover and riveted it in. When you install your breather you can't see the rivet and problem solved.

    To much blow by. Question for the rest of you also. Does the PCV vent at Wide Open Throttle? or with 0-1 in of vaccuum at WOW will it not vent?
    If it's not broke, fix it anyway.

    built many bbc and if you do not have any baffles in the covers your going to get oil not to much blow by just a lack of any control of it . less the engine is hurt ? but it a very common with tall valve covers or any covers with no oil control . i do not use a pvc with big power engines if you not pulling a vaccum them the pcv is not going to work
