breather with efi?

[redwing89]

i got some ford racing tall valve covers to clear my crane rocker arms, is it okay to run a breather on it since im doing a fuel injected set up if i plug both ports for the pcv system?

Im running them on mine with no problems

You will eventually have problems. Some people don't but most do. You need some sort of evac system to ventilate the crankcase.

im not doing any racing or anything crazy just dialy driving. these valve covers are nice they have baffles in them

without venting the crankcase you are going to push out the intake gasket.

so what can i do to run these valve covers on my efi set up?

I have always had breathers open to atmosphere on my boosted street cars and never had a problem.

You should be fine.

im just going to do it anyways. if i have any problems with it ill just revert back to the pcv system and save all the parts. but i dont think i will have an issue with running breathers when a lot of my friends who've done multiple engine builds say you can run a breather on an efi set up

well baffling is the metal part that goes underneath the hole right?

 

[sidewayscoupe]

Yup.

good! then i have those! lol.

Yea that's the main thing cause you don't want oil to come out of them cause it will

Make sure both sides have breathers and it will be fine.
