I actually got him to make a larger breather tank. It was not quite as shiny as the ones he usually makes, but it worked well for a Subaru we slapped it on!

Here is a photo my buddy sent me of his bunghole last night.

Looks like some additional sidewall would really make it alot easier to have a mounting point.

Now here is something really cool I found.

Oil caps with -10an fittings in them. Pretty neat considering I already have two passenger side covers.

Looks like a really nice piece, and as far as taller Valvecovers these seem to be the best bang for the buck.

Pictures?

For the guys welding the bungs on the forward most part of the head, what are you doing for your baffles?

Don't have any pics right now, I can try getting him to take some pictures the next time he takes it off to clean. Imagine the same fittings, but a larger plastic catch tank with a bleed valve at the bottom and no site tube on the side.

Where is the best place to mount the tank other than the engine for the 4th gen guys such as myself. I am trying to find out how much hose I need to make it to the VC's.

20'' hoses are $$$

I am going with the Jegs one. Seems the nicest and most straight forward.

Forget his screen name, but he went from.a braided line to a hard line all the way to the back of the car then back to a braided line to the can.

I dont really want to switch to different lines on the way there. I am going to grab some black line, and run that. be done. dont wanna switch from braided to hard line, to drinking straws then to fittings. too many connection points. braided line is not that bad just surprising since i have never bought more than 6 feet at once.
