I have the same setup, Mark. On the oil filler side, air is drawn into the
valve cover, so there should be little if any misting on that side unless you
have a lot of blowby due to worn valve guides and seals.
It may be that some rockers are more prone to spray the oil that gets pumped
through the pushrods... with the stock Ford rockers I had a problem until I
put the baffles back in.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Oil consumption
The oil is getting drawn into the intake through the PCV system and it's
getting burned as part of the intake mixture. The only times when you might
notice this is if you're idling and the wind is from behind you. On an F4B
intake, you'd notice that the #4 plug is more prone to fouling because the
PCV
is plumbed into that intake runner.

On the subject of baffles and PVC's. I have my PVC connected, but on the oil
filler cap I am using just a screened cap. I haven't noticed any misting
because of this being an open system, but maybe over time it will show up.
My questions is: is it possible to be getting an exhaust smell because of one
side being open?
Oh, and no oil consumption with the baffles removed.
