sometimes the search doesnt work and you have to try it a few times but patients is key to the search.

I have one on the passenger side valve cover and a tube connecting the rear ones together, I found that motorcycle breathers work really well. I have a breather that goes on a Honda Motorcycle and its cone shaped and fits perfect.

Thanks!
You say you have !AIR and !EGR but never said anything about getting rid of the pcv system? As long as the pcv system hasn't been removed there is absolutly no need for a breather.

You should be fine as long as the rest of your PCV system is intact and working.
