I think this was discussed before, but i can't find the thread. I got some new valve covers for my engine, and they come with one hole in each for a breather and fill cap, but no hole for a PVC valve. Is one breather all i need or should i put another hole in one to run a PVC? I'd really hate to drill and extra hole in these things since there billet and weren't cheap.

Run a vacuum pump. Negative crankcase pressure seals rings and equals horsepower. Besides, vacuum pumps look cool.

Can you adapt the PCV to the breather hole ?

I use the breather hole as my fill hole and then use the other hole for my pcv valve. All you have to do is get the right sized rubber grommets

you should have some type of pcv system, it helps keep moisture from building up, ive seen several engines that people have just put 2 breathers in the valve covers and after a season there is milky oil/water mixture building up in the valve covers and engine valley,

i run fabricated covers that i had to drill all my own holes, put pcv on one side and not drill another hole and breather on other side, completely cured any leaks i had

I think i'll run it using the breather as the filler and run the PVC to the filler hole.

Sucks i can't run my cool billet filler cap. :cry:
