Dave,
You may need to just seal things up a little tighter or clean your engine mo=
re often. A little seepage is more of a sealing problem. There is a lot of=
oil flinging around inside the cover. A lot. Especially if you have the a=
uxiliary oil feed tube to the rocker shaft. If the original draft tube is i=
n place, the engine should be breathing enough. You could get more venting f=
rom the valve cover by running a tube to a catch can. It doesn't look like y=
ou have a real problem there. When an engine isn't venting enough, it will p=
ush oil out of every possible spot. Like the dipstick hole. That would be a=
n indicator of a real breathing problem. The venting on my race car valve c=
over connects to the original draft tube location and they both feed into a c=
atch can as per the rule book and proper ventilation of a race engine. If oi=
l does get into the valve cover bent or block vent, it drains right back int=
o the block. My catch can will only have oil in it if something catastrophic=
happens. I used to run K&N filters on my oil vent catch can, but once the f=
ilters got a little wet from oil vapors they stopped venting and oil started=
coming out other places, like the dipstick hole. Since I have removed the f=
ilters, I have not had any issues.
Clean your engine more often,
Dave H.=20
