Default Pic request: Additional Valve cover breather fittings

For some reason now that i'm finally ready to drill for new fittings, i can't find any pics. Normally people add these on exhaust side (right where valve cover is baffled).. i just want to see and get some ideas

It looks cool and i might do it, but i really dont see the purpose. I have left the hose off my valve covers factory outlet and not a single drop has came out yet. 600+whp 30 psi.

The best part of using a beer bottle is making the catchcan

I run the Endyn Kit AND the valvecover breathers.

The more sources of ventilation the better. I would say it kinda depends on your power level.

Parts list for my way:

2x 1/2" (male) to 3/8" (male) NPT to hose adapter
2x hose clamps (more if you're running it to a catchcan)
several feet of clear vinyl hose, coolant hose also works fine, with an ID of 3/8"
Assorted drill bits stepping up to slightly under 1/2"
Hand drill with a level built in
1/2" tap and clamp for holding tap (any kit should contain this)
A buttload of extra oil and Q-tips
Teflon tape
Paper towels
Basic hand tools

And beer

I also run the Endyn kit in the DIY fashion

in simple words extends the life of your engine.. and the one on your valve cover does a lot, especially if you don't run breather filter because they become a restriction..

could you run two catch cans? one can for the fittings on the block and the other can for the fittings on the valve cover? would it benefit any?

would it be possible to just run the catch can off the 2 plugs from the valve cover and call it day?

My opinion on that is that most crankcase pressure comes past the rings into the bottom of the engine. The oil galleys are gravity-drain back into the oilpan, so you have air trying to get up the oil galleys out to the escape holes in the valvecover, and oil trying to go downwards through the same holes with only gravity to pull it down. I can't see that being a good thing especially with a lot of blowby.

Here's mine. I welded nipples on it thinking I could use a hose setup. Now I wish I had done fittings with braided lines instead.
