Did some upgrades on my engine, which included dumping the cross-ram intake; this left me the option of where my breathers could go. opinions...any upside or downside; or is it just whatever one thinks looks best?
I'm going to say that the correct way is on the top side. Running breathers and no PCV or road draft tube is a great way to create oil leaks though. That is if you don't have a setup to draw the air in, though and out.
I like this. Inside looks cleaner, but outside kinda shows them off a bit. Hope I have confused you a tad more!
I ran a setup like that on my T bucket back in my young and not near as smart as I thought I was days and Then put that engine in my 48 and fought oil leaks until I did some major changes venting wise.
I know people have run them both ways without issues but a properly functioning PCV system is important.
My thinking when I done mine was that oil would have a harder time running uphill so I mounted mine on the top.
I am liking them on top for the simple reason, there is more room in a somewhat small engine compartment; but always ready for some comments.
On top if you are going to use functional & Make sue no lip for oil to set, that will eliminate oil leak .
I agree, even with breathers I'd still want some sort of auxiliary PVC system...perhaps run it off the dipstick tube.
