The passenger side valve cover has the hose that runs from the oil filler neck to the throttle body. Well, to run roller rockers, so I'm told, you have to remove that baffle inside the cover. What should I do with the opening in the filler neck? I don't wanna hook it back up to the TB cause it'll suck oil up, won't it? If I plug it, will it be too much for the PCV valve to handle? If so, where should I re-route it? What have you all done? Thanks guys.

buy a breather with a nipple on it, thats what I did, I ran the hose right back to the stock location at the throttle body. The breather (closed style) acts as a baffle in my opinion or at leasty mine did the bottom of the breather has a plate and allows minumin air to pass.
 
I am going to install cobra 1.7 next week. Anyone kn0w if I can use my stock vlave covers and will I have to jjjjget rid of the baffles and what I can do with my breather line?? I was just going to take out baffles and keep the line but will the line now suck up too much oil??
 
That sucks, guess you better move out here to Ohio where we don't have any of those emission tests on our vehicles. I run an off-road X-pipe and will remove my smog pump when I swap motors. I've heard guys running the hose without the baffle and not having issues but I've also heard it can happen.
