    We finished up my ic install the other day (everything under the hood) and I just remembered that no one trimmed the gasket for the rear hole for the pcv. The guys helping me had done installs before, but this was my first. I'm running a wbs core, breather, and put a cap on the pcv valve. I know in the core it had that rear hole relocated and a channel between the 2 plates. I'm not sure which holes line up correctly though. Does the hole in the bottom plate match up with the lim, or does the hole in the top plate match up with blower? Either way, one of them is blocked by the stock sc gasket.

    It doesnt seem to have any problems running, no noises or anything. I've only driven it about 5 miles or so, but dont have the blower belt on. It has been ran for a total of about an hour though so its been at operating temperature and everything. I just want to make sure I dont have to take everything off again to cut that hole. Like I said, it doesnt seem to have any problems but I do get steam coming out of the breather, which I read this could be why. Thanks for the help!

    I cut my hole in the wrong spot for my pcv...whoops.....i was not taking it all back apart, as i was drunk and tired by the end of the night. i fab'ed up a filter on top of my oil cap and have had no problems since, 3000 miles so far. good luck.

    so pretty much your rear pcv is blocked and your just running a breather on the front?
