  • breather filter ??

    would putting a breather filter on my valve cover be a bad idea im hearing different stories .

    The valve cover is hooked to the intake to scavenge out blowby gasses and is the quickest way to relieve crankcase pressure, keep the crankcase in vacuum. Removing the tube connecting the two and putting a filter on won't hurt anything, but factory is better.

    And some people will say the gasses lower the octane level in the combustion chamber, but it's really negligible.

      those breather filters are crap unless u don't mind premature ring wear....dont run them vent that engine as good as u can or at least do not plug it off with a filter that will clog with oily shmeg.....
