Anyone doing the breather bypass on your M8?

Hang in there Brother. It gets better. Just takes time to process. If you keep your thoughts positive, the pain will pass and all you'll remember are all the good times you'd had.
Wishing you the luck this happens fast for you, and sincerely, sorry for your loss. I've been there more than a few times...

I originally thought that rerouting the breather hoses was a solution looking for a problem, until I disassembled my engine at 10,000 miles.
The piston tops were covered in carbon, you couldn`t see the valve pockets.
It now appeared to me that there was a problem, looking for a solution.
My solution was simple, no catch can, just ran the oem hoses into a T, to another hose out through the air cleaner box and down to the frame.
I have yet to see a drop of oil on the end of the hose.

Carbon filled the valve pockets on the front cylinder.
Here is what my intake manifold looked like.

Not DK, but just breather bolts yes. I don't like the breather hoses wrapped around the motor so I went this way instead. Neither of my M8's were / are oil blowers, so no mess from using them.
I wanted to use the S&S filter with the bolts, but as all the aftermarket breather bolts seem to be made at 3/4" long, finding longer ones was a problem, (the ones that come with the Stealth filter are 1 1/2" long).
Luckily I found https://s7ns-noise.com/collections/breather-bolts

Now I get no oil coming from the breather bolts/hoses since I have gone stage 3 and vented the crankcase. I'm thinking that I could get away with just using Phil's breather bolts now.
