takes the place of your oil filler neck breather and helps your pcv out. Reduces the amount of vapors in the valve train and lifter valley and reduces pressure.

And creates a vacuum leak on most setups.

RE: valve cover breather

If you have speed density stillits not really a vacuum leak since there isn't any metered air.

That's why I said in "most" setups.

Also not an issue with a carb. I idn't say it would give him a problem because I assume he idn't do a MAF conversion. But I figured others reading this may have problems with blowby. And if they car was made in the past 19 years then chances are they are running a MAF. So this would be a bad solution.
