Ok well i noticed that every once in a while i could smell oil burning and i found it was dripping from my breather. Where i have it it drips right onto the #4 header primary and burns. I have TFS valve covers and there are no baffles. Does anyone sell a breather that has a baffle in it? Or am i going to have to pull my oil filler neck and fab up some kind of baffle?

i had the same problem, dont even bother with one of those baffled grommets. i took the valve cover off and for about $40 had the welding place weld in a nice baffle for me. no more oil leaking.

You got it.

I have a set of FMS V-covers, and they come with holes pre-drilled for baffles, so I just had to tap the holes and put in some flimsy tin. Mountain Dew cans did the trick.

that is what i have. I have the vaacum fitting plugged and i run a breather at the top of it. The hole is right above a rocker and oil is getting flung up toward the breather and then it drips out after a while. I am gonna need to make some kind of a baffle.
