How to prevent oil from pushing through breathers?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have been having a minor problem with oil pushing past the breathers. The engine is fresh, leakdown is good. Normal amount of blow by, nothing to even consider. The problem only occurs after long full throttle or near full throttle runs. Even then, it isnt much. It just squirts out a bit of oil on both valve covers. Its just that I am such an anal SOB, it bothers the crap out of me. I have looked into hooking up a recovery system, but cant find anything I like. What are you guys doing?

Is there a baffle on the inside of the valve cover?

Run puke tanks on the motors if it bothers you.I got two for sale ,was going to put them on my blower motors but had no room. JOHN

Yes, there are baffles inside of the adapters that screw into the covers.

I was thinking of puke tanks, but couldnt figure out a way to plumb them that satisfied me.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking of. The only problem is I cant find anything to screw into the covers, except for what I have. Anyone done something similiar with 2 piece Eckerts like I have?

Are the breather holes threaded in your valve covers if so you can use aeroquipp fittings to get to what ya need i will find a pick for ya.........If they are not ya have to weld a threaded fitting from the back side......

I was lucky mine were already aluminum, so i just welded some #12 90's into my threaded bungs hope this helps......I think imco makes something also, check there web site....

Vinny, let me know what you come up with. I will have to do something with mine also.
I have regular Chevy Aluminum covers.. push in with grommets.
