[DeTomaso] Blowing Oil out your Diorama Valve Covers at WOT

[Jason Eaton]

Thats right I have a pair, they work great and thick cast aluminum so
the valve noise is reduced.

I had to drill and tap one of the aluminum screw in caps to accept
another 3/4 inch breather fitting and line. Now I have two of the caps
which are used as breather lines.

Let me know if you need more info.
