I would like to add, I think that sometime in the future I am going to tap into the upper area of the oil filler neck on the passenger side of the engine and put a breather there too. I don't know if it's really neccesary but I would be more comfortable knowing that both heads are getting ventilation.

i'll take some pics and post tommorow... like i said... the toughest part is getting that "dog house" turned around and put back in... i would recomend just leaving it where it is... just swing the elbow hose down 90* and hook your extension hose to it..

Thinking? Get ME in trouble?
Yo Johnny, I was talking about the cap on the oil fill for the engine!
The bottom of THAT cap!
ROFL! You too funny John...
Not gonna turn the puppy pound around, I'll leave it like it is and run the super soaker hose back. Heck, haven't used it for 5 years, she will never know it's missing.
(huh? didn't we throw that out?)
