If I remove the baffle then alot of oil will rise into the small oil line going into the intake. And I don't want to put a hose pointing to the ground so that the oil will drip on the road. If you have more ideas I'm listening.

Vfast you stole my valve covers

it depends on the 1.7s you run with stock covers. different RRs wont always clear stock modified covers. also with a spacer you will run into hood clearance issues and on a sn95 your tight already

you can clean the breather just like you clean a K&N filter also if you leave the baffle and grind it down some you wont have that problem also if you use the stock covers you wont need a spacer
