[DeTomaso] Oil Spray from valve cover breathers

[John Taphorn]

Ken

I use these Petersen risers in which I installed baffles.  I had 
aluminum nuts welded to the covers for installing the risers.  The added 
heights gets them up above the oil pool.  I've tested them by placing a 
moisture separator in the line between the riser and the carb.  Very 
effective.

   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,
