Close but not quite..
Both fittings on the air cleaners are connected together through a special
molded hose which connects to a flame arrestor connected to the oil
fill neck. The crank case vent system breaths "clean" air in through
the air cleaners.. into the valve cover, on through the sump where vacuume
from the manifold sucks the blowby through the PVC valve...
