Default guys w/ alternator relocation.....

How can I run a breather on on the oil fill whole? The way mine is with the stock alternator and stainless works relocations bracket theres not even enough room to screw in the stock oil elbow or the cap. Right now I have a stock oil cap that I grinded the edges, but I need to run a breather to relieve some pressure. Anyone one have pics???

You don't need to run a breather if you set up a good PCV setup (like what MM is using). He runs all of his PCV connections to the air inlet after the filter to create a constant vacuum under boost. Eventually i will convert to his setup down the line but i don't have enough time to worry about it now.

I am sure you could swap to a different valvecover if you really wanted a breather setup.

Look closely and you'll see the "mod" I had to do to my mesh breather on the valve cover. Still works, not too pretty but its functional which matters most. Just had to smush the breather a lil.

No problem, sometimes you just gotta work with what you have.
