    The one point that seems important (but was only mentioned once) is that if you put a breather where the PCV is, make sure you cap off the hose that connected to the other side of the PCV.

    Another little factoid (question actually) is that the PCV only vents one of the valve covers. Shouldn't both be vented to ensure that the pressure is balanced? Is there a cross over that makes that happen? What about etlsports find of a oil filler cap/vent/filter replacement for that side ... would that be a good idea if replacing the PCV with a filter/vent?
    all very good questions - anyone ever find a breathing oil cap that will fit a vx? im seriously considering the pcv breather to start with - worst case scenerio i take it off and go back to cleaning the pcv every few days
