Breather ports in valve covers machined

[yellowfever#154]

I removed the factory breather nipples and had them machined to a -6 ORB thread. Heres a couple pictures and also the fitting to be used (I will use a black aluminum fitting rather than a silver steel one). The fitting is not tight in the valve cover in the picture but the O-ring does bottom and fits perfect. Any others from Alberta or anyone that want this done PM me and I will send you the machinists information. He built a special tool to do this for me.

Thats a great idea. :rock: Wouldn' it be better to go with a fitting that was a 90? Post pics once you get them installed. I'm interested in seeing how the lines are.

Possibly, later this week when I get my block back I will figure out the best fittings and line lengths to use.

Are the factory breather fittings threaded also or are they pressed in? I wanna remove them before the valve covers go to be powder coated.

Pressed, don't take them out though, you won't get them back in.

Looks great!! I am wanting to do the same thing and run two catch cans -6 an line.

Pressed, don't take them out though, you won't get them back in.

So just have the powdercoater plug them and reconnect the hoses like that? I'm worried masking them off might leave an edge that could peel or chip.

Looks awesome!!! Can this be done to the oilpan? For oil return?

Ya just get them coated, don't worry about masking them.

I don't see why not, the pan should be thick enough and if not a guy could always use a bulkhead fitting.

Sounds good. Thank you.

Nice work, do you plan to run a catch can also?

 

[moparviper]

what does that do for our trucks?

 

[yellowfever#154]

I used two catch cans from JMB, mounted one on each frame rail out of sight.

Basically does nothing but looks good.
