hey, whenever you guys do this mod, do you leave the tube open or do you put a one way valve on it????
also, this is just basically a whole in the valve cover, and a tube stuck on it right???

 

I think you just need to put a filter on it so dirt dont get in it.

 

actually most of the companys that sell'em don't have any type of filter, just run it outta the way and outta the elements and it'll be fine... and yeah it's just a hose barb on a tappet... like this: https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/att...chmentid=59930

i made that one for $4. hopefully it's working (it's supposed to save the oil seals).

is there actually any advantage to having a breather kit?

I've heard from several mechanics that they dont do anything

 

It might just be placebo but It feels like its got a little quicker rev to it now that I got one.

 

i'm a mechanic and no i don't think it will do anything for performance, it's more like preventative maintenance, it's supposed to help keep your oil seals from blowing out.

no dirt will get int he tube beuas it blows air out when the engin is runing, but make sure u gt no water in it or ur screwed

 

So it would be a good idea to put a 1 way valve.
