Valve covers with out stand offs

[BAD SNAKE]

Is anyone running valve covers that don't have stand off's on them to run silicone lines back into the intake or to a catch can set up?

Just wondering how it would effect a built engine?

The engine needs ventilation. The top of the valve covers are the best place to do that from.

You'll have increased crankcase pressure which is not good. Your rear main seal will be more susceptible to leaking.

And also when you build up too much crank pressure it's gotta go somewhere and I would think it would start using oil too.

You could always smooth and fill the holes at the front and drill and tap some at the rear where they are less noticeable.

The guy making my new covers asked if I wanted to vent them the same as my oem ones and I said no I would do it on my own. I think I may vent them on top or the back to keep the engine bay a little cleaner. I'll do something similar to this but with -10an lines.

I have the same breather blocks on my GTS and they look very clean and factory looking. I have 90 degree elbows on the Ram though.

Am I missing something?
How do you add oil with no filler cap?:dontknow:

 

[BAD SNAKE]

You fill threw the breather or just add a filler cap.
