We tried it on the dyno with vented vs unvented valve covers and there was a difference of about 20 HP. What I really like is the engine compartment stays really clean compared to the times I had remote valve cover breathers with baffles etc. The only time oil gets out of this thing is when it is not running, then it leaks like an old Harley.
Well that just shows that being out of commission for a few years will do for you....Thanks for the info on the Daily pump....and it appears to be smaller...

We tried sealing up the motor before and it never worked....and I did it like you did, by closing up everything but the dry sump tank....should of looked at a different pump......Thanks again and will get on it....
