The negative is that you won't coat the intake with oil anymore.

We've been running engines for years without them.You need to change the oil more but the motors can be tuned better because the oil won't be there to detinate it.

So you put a breather in instead of the oil fill and you're good to go?

Running breathers will vent blowby gasses at modertae load, but it will not evacuate the noxious fumes out of your crankcase. These fumes contaminate your oil and reduce your oil life by half or more! I finally upgraded to the LS6 pcv and a catch can.
