  Yeeeea, once you weld the riser (?) to the valve cover you have to take off the valve covers to change the oil ;-]>

So what you're talking about is essentially a riser for the breather 
cap, that is welded to the valve cover. Does that mean then the 
breather is still removable from the top of the stack or is it all 
welded together? The catalog lists them for drag race use only (don't 
know why). But are we saying the advantage is they prevent oil from 
blowing out the breather because it allows a a higher level of oil in 
the valve covers?
