So today was a good day . I believe I have sorted all the issues out car wasn't loading up or anything drove through the neighborhood stop and go today for about 10 min at operating temp .

All seems well . Maybe 2 weeks or so we'll see and maybe it will see the rollers . @84Ttop [emoji6]

I just ordered one. I don't have tall valve covers but it looks cool so I gotta have it.

I need to order one too. My hacked up throttle bracket clears my VC's now but is pushing slightly against my FPR due to the EGR delete.

AFR at idle not too bad considering the tune in my Pms is for something much wilder .

Problem I am having is oil out the breather on the valve cover . Part of me thinks it's just due to the valve cover not having a baffle there . @84Ttop what you think ? I don't remember it doing this before but it's like it's slinging raw oil out on to the valve cover and it's dripping down on to the header . Aggravating so I need to figure that out . Put about 30 miles on it . Car feel torquey I kept it out off boost obviously but was on the expressway doing 65-80 . Other wise so far so good and it's clean .

Depending on where the breather hole is located will dictate the need for a baffle. If you have a lot of oil pressure and the vent is over one of the push rod passages it's possible to suck up extra oil. For now, wrap a red shop rag around the breather and rock on!

I stuffed steel wool in my filter and wrapped a wristband around it as well. Helped keep the smoke show to a minimum.

Well I've fixed the oil spilling on to the valve covers . Both sides are now vented so I am not worried about excess pressure . The driver side had to be massaged a lot but you can't tell the left side that can be seen looks awesome . I'm happy now . Afr cruising still 13.8-15.2 mainly in the 14s . So I got some good miles on it
