Need Pics of Metco Valve Cover Breather!! Well the title says it all. I went ahead and bought the one you get at Pep Boys for $13 dollars and you honestly can't tell the difference between the two. I would like to see some pics of the breather installed on your cars....

Re: Need Pics of Metco Valve Cover Breather!! I don't think its possible with a BMR STB. I got to fit with my Hotchkis when I had it, but it is a different design then the BMR. I wouldn't get a Metco breather anyway, I'm not convinved that it doesn't create a vacuum leak yet.

Re: Need Pics of Metco Valve Cover Breather!! I had a Metco on my car with a STB. It fits but I landed up loosing that useless ricer looking STB since it doesn't serve any purpose, especially if you're running street tires! The only thing it does is give you an extra 10-15 mins. work if you want to work on the motor!

Re: Need Pics of Metco Valve Cover Breather!! I have a Metco Breather with a BMR Strut Tower Brace and I just recently removed it since it didn't fit that well. The top of the breater rubs the strut tower brace, and is a pain (not really that bad) to get off. If you **** it at an angle (the neck of the oil filler) it fits okay.
I would have left it on there if it helped more with oil consumption but it didn't, so I just took it off (only bought it 2 weeks prior too)
It is made really well the aluminum piece on the bottom looks nice.

Re: Need Pics of Metco Valve Cover Breather!! FEAR THE LS1, how did you get yours to fit? You obviously don't have the angled peice in yours that the breather would hook into. So please tell me how you did it. thanks

Re: Need Pics of Metco Valve Cover Breather!! I wonder if he just removed the elbow and stuck it into the cover itself... I'll have to give it a shot tonight when I get home and see if it fits!
