What breather filter fits?
What breather filter are you guys using on your valve covers? Which one will fit right? I ghetto rigged a cheap APC one but it sux. I was hoping to find one that fit well. Any suggestions?
yea i also go globs of oil on it... sometimes ill spin it around to see the bottom and ill notice oil drips and some gets on the fuel rail.. oh well.. yea it is ghetto... but it matches the colors of my pipes

Rep Power: 326 not too bad, if u got any buddys with filter cleaner kits...
try borrowing the cleaner kit, rinse out the filter (water flows from the inside out), then re-oil the filter with the red oil. that way it all matches or at least comes closer to your other one

Rep Power: 0 I just put mine on today. What i did was take a heater hose with a 90 degree bend in it so the breather filter is pointed up. It turned out better than i thought! Just be sure to cut it short enough so the hood doesnt smash it. Sorry no pic... Just look at osoboosted's pic and picture that hose bent upward. Sits right behind the cables.

Rep Power: 0 ^^^Thats a good idea...id go with the K&N filter...my question is, why do you hav oil dripping down on your fuel rails due to that filter? IS it the oil on the filter itself or motor oil?
