The EMPI kit is a good way to go
per Vigil however....
use of the "one way" filtered (vented)plastic oil filler cap in place of the solid (un-vented) cap will allow a limited amount of "inbound" air into the crankcase and thus actually aid in crankcase pressure/vapor evacuation.

Greetings,
I probably should have asked this much earlier....but oh well..
My 1275, now has a belt drive cam...and thus no crankcase breather on the timing cover.. and of course no side covers and no breather there.
There is however, a breather on the valve cover.
Considering that the 1098 sucks air out of the crankcase, just above the lifters, and the pushrod holes are quite open.. I figure I should be able to vent the engine sufficiently via the breather on the rocker cover.. but i may want to widen the tiny hole (~2mm - 3mm now) in the breather pipe.
Has anyone done this and found it to be succesful or otherwise?
Cheers
Andy
