If you are using aftermarket valve covers you can buy 1.22" breather grommets with the baffle built-in from Moroso. There are also grommets that are "blanks" with no holes in them. I use a blank one under a K&N breather as an oil filler plug in front, with the two PCV hoses at the rear. I used to have a universal "OIL" cap that fits into a standard grommet hole but it fell off. The K&N breather/grommet combo is a tighter fit and won't go anywhere.
Does anyone know if you can get just the baffles?
In my infinite wisdom I tossed my baffles from my new aluminum covers since they didn't clear my guidplates. So, not only do I have to modify some, I have to find some!
If you are refering to the metal ones inside the cover, you could use a nice firm piece of alum. flashing from any hardware store. Trim it to the shape you want, add a couple of holes and no more oil sloppy.
Just a piece to add. I had the FMS valve covers for years and they would sling oil past, even with the baffles in. The oil on the motor was a pain but the real embarrassment came from the fact that the oil would build up in my pcv tube. When I got on the throttle the oil would suck into the motor and begin smoking everywhere.

That's what my problem was, when I got my car it had Cobra covers and the baffles had been removed to clear the rockers and I was getting some blow-by. I just installed my new Edelbrock covers that clear the rockers w/ the baffles installed.
