Its not a filter its just like the filler neck tube open and connected to tbI don't think you can put a breather on valve cover. I think it messes with the pcv valve or something. I read about it somewhere but can't remember all the details. Someone smarter than me can provide answer to that.
Edit: I just noticed you don't have the valve covers with filler neck. You already have a filter installed in back of passenger side valve cover. I would imagine if that's working then all you need to do is plug off the TB and call it a day.
Ok so my pcv is hooked in the back top of lower intake to upper intake?,do i just run a tube with no pcv valve?,or plug it?,then just put open breather on valve cover?
It's either all in or nothing with the pcv you shouldn't run the breather and pcv together . I am plugged with breathers on my vc . You must delete the line that goes from the throttle body to the valve cover or else it would be pressurizing the crankcase whether you run the pcv or not . The design of the systemax which I have read many other have the same issue makes the pcv draw oil into the intake path like a siv which is why I chose to plug it off and run open breathers.

I have ran just on one side but both sides is ideal . You don't want the crankcase pressure building up . You can use a freeze out plug to plug it off or a expandable plug with a little rtv on it to seal it up .Its not a filter its just like the filler neck tube open and connected to tb

Thanks im learning here...lol
Edit: just read it again and you already said you plugged it,so open breathers both sides then right?
i shortend it as much as i can and cut a bit off the rad also?...think i should go more?...its right up to the nipple?I would shorten the hose on the Radiator side to keep it away. Guaranteed it makes contact when the engine torques.

The Hose has to be cut more . Mine is like half of that . And I had to bend the top brackets sung with the rad and cut a piece of old belt to use as a spaced to keep the rad real tight so it wouldn't move to come toward the pulley

If that's the case which I think it is too - take the rad rubbers and slice them to half the thickness with a razor blade allowing it to move forward enough to clear the pulley .I had to do the same things... I will say though your radiator is a different brand than ours and it appears its thicker which will give you these extra clearance issues. I will go out and measure my rad dimensions tonight.
ya mines an 8 rib....and the rad is as far back as it goes,from what i can tell thats how they are?.....i looked at your pic toolow91 and tried to make it the same.....thanks for pic by the way,i feel better now!Mike yours was a 6 rib belt ? where as mine is an 8 I wonder if smoke shows is an 8 as well it's hard to tell
