Breather setup, what to do with this?
So I'm piecing together my breather tank kit and test fitting some things on a spare block. I have these three items so far:
Once I connect these three into the back of the block, should I just plug this fitting that also connects to the black box?
Shown here with the hose still attached to it. The other hole in the box is what leads to the pcv valve.
Shown here right above black water pipe with black box removed.
Am I correct in assuming to just unthread this fitting and plug it shut? Thanks.

yeah, plug that little one up. you can pull one of the brass allen head plugs from a spare head you might have laying around and it'll thread in there.

On an all motor high compression (12.5:1) engine, if I were to plug the black breather box (oil separator) with the Z10 plug> will there be any problems with the crankcase breathing WITHOUT using the two added fittings on the back of the block?
In other words, if I were to plug the black breather box hole with the Z10 plug, will the crankcase breathe enough solely through the valve cover fitting? If not, is it possible for the gases to blow the Z10 plug off?
thx in advance

Ahh. no it could not breathe enough using only the Vcover vent. I would not advise that method.
How much does that Z10 fitting cost anyways? I like pretty machined parts but dang it lives at the rear of the engine and is never seen. A expansion plug and Hondabond does the same job for alot less I'd imagine.
The Z10 o-ring fit is probably pretty tight so I doubt that even excessive CCP would force the plug out of the block.
