A guy who works on motors told me that.
With breaking it because of the pressure builds up when running at 7000 rpm ?!

Quess not ?

Will put a tank in ,but need fittings for the valvecovers ,got screw in filters on there now with ,i think 1,25 inch thread.
Not shure about the size ,there the old B&M aluminum 2 peace covers ?
Any idea where to get them fittings ?

Thanks

Thanks guys - I won't even waste my time than with "nicer" breathers....just go straight to a tank....

Will I be able to use a push in style line on the valve cover or will I have to have something made that is more "permanent" - like a screw in fitting on the Valve Cover?

I just finnished modifying my v covers to use a tank. I used a 2" long piece of aluminum round bar stock, bored and tapped the center to 1/2NPT. I then machined the outside dia down leaving a 1/2" shoulder to sit against the top of the thread in filter holder and the rest just small enough to fit inside the thread in filter holder. I cut a pair of grooves into the machined down section for O rings. I drilled and taped a 1/4NC thread thru the outside and used a grub screw to secure my adapter to the v/c screw in adapter. This allowed me to use the screw in valve cover filter adapter and connect it to #12 AN with a 1/2NPT to 12 AN adapter and out to a puke tank. No cover mods or welding needed. Nice tight seal due to the O rings and it looks pretty good too. Total time with a lathe and a drill press about one hour.
