Yea, my new breather lines are below the baffle anyway. I wanted them there for a the exact reason of not filling the baffle area with toomuch large pieces of dril shavings. BUt all in all i'm not trusting a new engine to something i cannot see as clean.
I also think that by re-welding the tabs on they will be weaker than factory because it's a cast material that's been exposed to hydrocarbons and oil (not to mntion multiple heat cycles it's whole life.
I don't mind emptying the can more often as i'm biulding a really nice one for myself
I'll post pics when i throw it all on. I've even got the stock pcv valve safety wired into the -6 line for the NEW pcv system(there will be 2 cans, but most likely linked with one way valves.
BTW...anyone ever head of "check ball fittings' in aeroquipstyle stuff tht NOS makes? My friends fuel systemn builder told thim the "Y" junction on his dual wallys had check valves in them so one pump can't over run the other... he and I are both wondering how much truth there is to this (edit the "Y" fitting is built by NOS )
