I bought the Arlen ness big sucker that goes under the stock cover. It comes with bolts to replace the breather bolts from the stock set up. Easy.

So how does the engine vent with no breather bolts?

Old thread but I have the AN big sucker for the stock cover also. It replaces the bolts, yes, but with hollow ones that still vent inside the filter element with no path into the throttle body. So you're left with the puking going inside the air filter element. I am going to look into tapping the breather stand offs on the backing plate to route hoses and a catch can. I am getting oil leaking out from the bottom of the k&n style air filter element after a couple hundred miles I guess it's finally saturated the filter from the inside-out enough to drip.

1800 miles and someone told me that about every 1500 you want to remove the filter and wipe out the plate and throttle valve. It was a sticky mess. I've got a leg on each side of the fence. Damn near every engine out there has circular path for crank case ventilation. For every cycle of a cylinder the amount that goes in is so minuscule it doesn't matter. But modern oils don't burn like the dino oils of old. That stuff sticks to everything and then boils down to tar. You've got to let the gas out of the system somehow, and the reburn is just good for the environment. Getting the oil vapor out is the real trick and what catch cans are supposed to do. I don't know about you guys, but I sure as hell don't want to have to empty a can every 3-4 tanks of fuel. I just want to ride the thing. The ford ecoboost guys all swear by catch cans and talk about them being full after 400 miles. My truck get's about 400 a tank. So I'm supposed to get dirty and find a place to essentially dump oil every fill-up? This really isn't an easy pill to swallow on either side for me.

I have upgraded to a larger bottle. Empty it every 1000 miles. But as you can see it's probably good for 3000
