Cool, well, i'm taking them out anyway, mainly because the valve cover has been stressed and i don't trust those tabs.. I may use some sort of screw or MAYBE reweld them in, but if it's for the sake of oil return i feel i should do it.
I just don't trust those stock keepers at all after seeing that one post.. Where both my breathers are now i would have to make a custom baffle for them anyway. I wasn't really too worried about in honestly. I remember back in the small block ford and chevy days a LOT of the aftermarket VC's didnt' have baffles in them....but i'd rather chance my welds holding than have them litle stock nubbins break off from the stresses of drilling and welding fittings in
EDIT: well i just ook my few last waking moments to cut the baffles out..and MY GOD even after 3 good washings there was still so many metal shvings in there i'm glad i never put it on a running engine!
I've got 2VC, so i might test "no baffle" for a while.. i studued how it "directed oil" nd didn't see too much of importance really.. nonthing was in line with any oil returns and only very few cam caps were "covered"
