probably the only way to keep oil from going back in is to vent it to atmosphere via a breather can

I have my can mounted on the driver side frame forward of the radiator and fits under the cover with the A&A kit.

That sounds like a great spot for drain access, too.
The only problem I'll have is having to get another passenger FRC and sanding the HELL out of it to paint it nicely again because I cut the current one to fit a different style can.

And what draws the air into the crank case? Intake manifold vacuum. So the air goes into one head (the one with the filter), through the crankcase, out the other head, and into the intake manifold... and from there, into the cylinders.
For MAF-based fueling, that'd be pulling in unmetered air - also known as a vacuum leak. But he isn't using the MAF anyway, so it's no big deal.

Tusc, where did you get that oil fill cap? I've been looking for something like that.
Thanks!
Thanks!

here are a few c5 installs
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...0JTLTJVVHZrY2c
i have two bracket options on the site for c5 'wild'. battery mount and universal mount
https://www.mightymousesolutions.com...page/c5-6-wild
for c5 usually the univesal mount goes to the battery box or the fuse box, and the battery bracket would be for anyone that does not or cannot do the universal mount
also see that the kit includes an oil fill adapter which is my standard 'no mess' way to do away with the now undersized stock ventilation line.

Edit: for those who are more knowledgeable, an suggestions on my setup? I see where others discuss a steady downhill feed to the can. Due to SC and headers, my can raises up slightly from the feed line. Would that impede function?
