Post Valve cover Breather
Is there anything wrong with me taking the hose off my HDR Mukuni Carb that comes from the valve cover and putting a small Breather on the valve cover? Just have never liked the idea of oily air being sucked into my motor... Pros and Cons?????

I haven't run that hose since my first build. Have filters on all 3 that I maintain. Having that filter actually let me know I had issues with my dad's that (once i disassembled the engine) required a full rebuild when it started spitting oil out of the filter.

Russ-
What size filter do you use? I have been thinking of doing this same thing to my engine.

What he said. I used a uni filter 1/2" from amzon on my engine, and went to advance for the other 2, I think.
