Why not block off the front nipple of the valve cover and connect the two rear ones into a (T) then connect another hose from the t to the throttle body

Eh...no. the oil cap is sealed better than you think. Also, your pulling un filtered air in. T the rear ports, run to intake and hook the fresh air back up.

I don't see how running it that way would hurt anything
