I've got one, Dave. Unfortunately, it's on my Westfield with
full "road vent" blow-by treatment -- no PCV or other plumbing
bits. I bought it 'cause I was thinking about going to a non-
vented rocker cover and didn't want to decrease the venting.
It's a really trick looking bit of machining. Fully baffled
with a threaded outlet to run off to a catch tank. I know
my local machine shop would charge a whole bunch more than
$40 to make a duplicate.
Can't say if it would help a PCV install or not, but for
general crank ventin, it's really slick!
