I think Turbolscrx had something similar to this. Same concept, different brand.

Does it work the same as welding the an fittings on the valve cover?

I’m getting some pressure in the head and I’m thinking about getting one to relieve some pressure and I want to keep my valve cover in one piece without welding a fitting.

I keep getting leaks from the corners of the valve cover on distributor side. I could put Honda-bond on it but I don’t like using it on the valve cover. This is a new oem valve cover gasket just installed a week ago.

I'm sure it doesn't. Because they don't separate the oil from the water. It's just a small crankcase vent that's going to cause a lot of mess in the engine bay.

what’s up shodan, I did the setup like you had on the block but minus the valve cover nipple and the one-way piece. I got confused where that hooked up too the block..?



but I’m looking to relieve the head.

Also it says the product has baffles separating


what the description says on 3rd paragraph:

Machined internal baffling helps keep your oil in your motor and not in your breather box and you can even add wadding of your choice for high flow applications. Unlike other products on the market this part stays fixed to the valve cover when the cap is removed so you can pour your oil right in. If you’re a real boss you can even go funnel-less… and don’t worry about leaks, 4 Viton o-rings will take care of that.

You need to hook up the two main fittings from the cans to the back of the block, using either Prelude adapter fittings, or B&R Fittings, freeze plug to -10 AN male fittings. (photos are in the description)
Venting the head is the least of your worries. the block needs more venting than that head.

Yea I’ve got block venting already. Two 10an fittings on each side of the oil filter. Then one 10an fitting with the rubber O-ring that slips into where the black box breather went too. Everything is good on the block no oil leaks and no crankcase build up as far as I know.
but the valve cover leaks from the corner on distributor side. Mayb it’s a defective valve cover gasket... idk

Honestly sounds like you've got a bad VC gasket. Mine did the same thing but only past 18psi. I slathered the corners really good with some grey RTV and haven't leaked since. Pushing 25psi right now and it is dry as can be.
