Drew,

I seem to remember someone on the list recommending putting a sock over the 
breather cap to capture the gook before it coated your engine bay.  I don't 
remember whether the rest of the list thought this overly restricted the 
breather cap, though.

body work, and the body guy has brought it into the garage by his desk! 
Whoo hoo!)
