Oily Intake - Expanded

Ok, I understand the crankcase vent into the intake leaves oily uck in the intake.

The question is: Is it cost effective to remove it?

Obviously there are a variety of ways to accomplish this, but even more important that the method ~to me~ is the bang-for-the-buck improvement in performance.

Would there be a noticible improvement assuming "normal" amounts of oily ucky in the intake?

oh, a 4.0 OHV with 115,000 miles (to my knowledge it has never been cleaned).

TIA.
