So let me ask you guys a question. Before I did my cam job and installed the SE billet cam plate and high volume pump, I never got oil puking out my breathers. I also installed the new Woods alpha series lifters. These lifters claim to deliver a lot more oil to the heads than stock. Since I added these mods I get lots of oil puking out the breathers. I even went as far as installing new HD breather assemblies in both heads. Didn't help at all.
$280 for lifters? No wonder Bob Wood is so filthy rich!

2 - 1/8NPT to -4 AN elbows
5 - -4 AN swivels
1 - -4 AN Tee
3 ft -4 AN Braided Hose
And I also have a catch can I bought just to see what all it's spitting out. The can was $20 and the AN fittings and hose was about $50 all together shopping around on ebay but I really like the look of it.

longer and higher duration cams will cause this as well. At some point you guys have to realize that getting more oil (or getting more oil faster and under higher pressure) to the top end isn't necessarily an answer to a problem you think you might have.

Yea, I realize that I probably didn't need to do all that, but I had some extra cash and said what the hell. Im in the cam chest, lets just do it. And now im suffering the oil puking.
Its alright though, I just received my DK Customs breather bypass kit in the mail yesterday.

I just ordered the DK Customs Complete HiFlow 606 Air Cleaner Dyna Softail Touring - Rushmore because I like the stock cover. I am going to try the breather bolts - any thoughts on how much oil will weep out of the bolts?

This is an External Breather System (EBS) that I've been testing out recently.
It is one of our Premium Discrete Systems where I've replaced the filter with a catch can that has a built in filter.
I'm liking it a lot. After testing I was going to go back to the Premium Discrete, but I've decided to leave this on there.

Is that a small catch can? Or is it just a filter with a chrome cover...
