Yeah plug everything off and run a breather on the valve cover.
who all has done this, and does anyone have any pictures of what kind of breather you have used?

The easiest way would be to buy that "Metco" breather that replaces your oil cap. but its $50. I'm cheap and work in a metal fab shop, so there you go.

from reading your other post, you welded a tube on the drivers side valve cover, but it looks like you just have the oil cap replacement breather on the passenger side?

do you need to put a breather on both valve covers, or can you just use the oil cap replacement on the one side?
