Buy a breather. I got my Metco from Year One , it screws right onto the oil filler tube. Then all you have to do is pull out all the lines. Theres a line that plugs into the back of the dr. side valve cover, and goes to the back of the pass. valve cover where it Y's. Pull out all that tubing, and continue up to the front fo the valve cover, then pull out the PCV valve and pull the tube off the Intake where the PCV line went in.

Once you've got all that out, just plug up all the holes and install your breather.

I've got all my holes ghetto plugged right now until I can do a cleaner job on them. On the tubes on the pass side valve cover, I took bolts that were just small enough to get the threads started on the tubes and I just drove them in far enough till they were tight. On the hole in dr. side cover, I actually took a bit of rubber exhaust hanger and shoved it in the plastic peice that you will pull out of the hole originally with the rest of the tubing. It's ghetto, I know but it was a last min mod so I didn't have any time to fab up clean plugs or anything

When the car is running you can see some "smoke" coming out of the filter everyonce and a while. But by no means is oil getting thrown around the engine compartment, and theres no film or residue from what I can tell either.

i think total cost on mine was right at $30 for everything... That small *** breather was almost as much as the big one... $10 and $11 for the breathers.
