How to keep oil from coming out breathers I'm running speed inc's billet valve covers with a breather on each. I get some oil drops out the breathers that runs down on to my headers. There are no connections on the valve covers for a pcv hookup. Do I have any more options?
Run breathers similar to the pan-e-vac type that plumb to the exhaust on drag cars (closed element with a 1/2" tube coming out of the top, no pics, sorry!) to a catch can with an open element breather on top. I think there was group purchase on this type of set-up on here not too long ago.

are u running these?
cause those dont allow for running a catch can to hold that oil that is dripping
on the stock valve covers there is are nipples
you could probably tap your covers so u can run lines to a catch can.

Yeah I've seen people put Steel wool into breathers before for a simular effect. Just didn't like it much.

We installed this breather on my Z28, hooking it up by way of the valley pan. So far it looks like it is doing the job quite well. Bob
i just bough some of this stuff and cut it up into a small enough piece and shoved it up in there. its cheap enough, so i replace it every month or so but im sure i prolly dont even need to change it that often or at all probably

Heres a pic of mine. I got the breather tank from a gut on here. Im running the Speed Inc. Valve cover too. With PVC grommets in the valve cover holes. Than a -10 fitting (fits nice and tight) with -10 hoses from each valve cover running to the breather tank.
