The valve covers don't have baffles, but the breather does. . .

The baffle in the breather may not be sufficient. I would try a set of baffled valve covers and see if that makes a difference.

definitly need baffles on valve covers, however some aftermarket heads and manifolds have oil return holes that are restrictive and let too much oil accumulate under the valve cover, it will eventually leak and spit out the breather whether you have breathers or not.

Yeah I went through this as well.. I changed valve covers to a nice set with some really well thought out baffles inside and no mor oil leakage...

Also went through this. Many, if not most, of the original chrome style 427 valve covers don't have baffles. I switched to a "Cobra Lemans" style finned ones with baffles from Tony Branda. Using the same breathers on both, one spit, the other did not.

Not to highjack the original thread, but there's a good explanation of PCV systems at wikipedia.org. History section was particularly informative.
