[DeTomaso] Oil Spray from valve cover breathers

No PCV valve in this system.  Even if I did put one on I would still be sucking up a lot of oil without any baffles.  It could, however, be that the rings aren't seated yet since I only have about 150 miles on it.  I was hoping to find a way to baffle the breathers.

Do you have a PVC valve?  I recall that PVC helps reduce or eliminate pressure inside the engine, and if it's removed or blocked, you can get oil spray from breathers.

Hi Guys, does anyone have any ideas how to stop my engine from blowing
oil out of the breathers on the valve covers.  The engine was just
rebuilt and now has aluminum valve covers without any baffles by the
openings for the breathers.  I'm getting a spray of oil out of the
breathers and sometimes they actual come off when i push it hard.
These are the twist-on type of breathers,
