Rob,
What is the ID of your vent hose on the valve covers? If this is too small it will not relieve enough crankcase pressure and this can cause problems - oil leaks, blow by, etc.

Rob,
Can you show a picture of the type of breather you are using. One on each valve cover should be enough for your engine, assuming they are the right type of breather. Some breathers are very restrictive and do not do much.

Don't forget about our Fun Run 7/28 out of Northpoint Marina next weekend.
