Crank case pressure.

Need suggestions on crank case pressure relief with my Maggie. Is just a matter of replacing oil fill cap? Who has a good that looks good too?

Thanks

Mighty Mouse can. Had no issues with 22psi with it and it stopped all rear main seal seepage/leakage.

The Mighty Mouse breather has a one way valve in it? I won't need a retune or have to do anything else will I? Oh, and I'm just inquiring about the breather, not the catch can.

It does both-catch and vent. It is only open when positive pressure opens it to vent and is closed otherwise. It has a metal one way valve for the top fitting. You will not need a retune with it.

If you are only seeking a breather, you don't want this can. If you need a vent and a catch can, this is it!

I'm going with this since I already have an elite engineering catch can: http://www.jreperformanceparts.com/2...-breather.html

I came across Jennetty's breather too but this MM catch can with breather has my interest. For a little more $ it seems it'll do both jobs if it works properly. Not to mention it's not bad looking either.

My catch can does a pretty good job by itself.

Evidently he now offers just the vented breather for use on a valve cover

My MM can (black can with silver top next to fuse box). Since I have AGP twins now, I am using their cans. The MM can never missed a beat though.

Hey Blake-b, what did you use for a mount or mount it to? I have a MM can on the way.
