Default OIL Fill Cap / Breather Vent Mod

If you are running high boost and crank case pressure this is a good mod for you!

parts list
Dremel
Gorilla glue
Oil cap- Napa P/N: 703-1458
Breather Filter- Auto Zone P/N: 3998 Brand "Spectre"

clamp the cap in a vise with a rag or small towel (not too much or you'll break it) then drill a hole about 3/4" or what looks to be large enough for the rubber tube from the breather will fit in BUT not to big where it will be loose. I used a Dremel side Drill and then a deburring tool to finish up the hole. then put some glue on the rubber part of the filter as well as the oil cap. push in and youre done!

Note- test fit all your parts prior to glue! AND my filter was a little loose from the rubber gromet that was supplied so I glued that as well to keep it from vibrating while the motor is running

Damn, one more idea to steal from you. If you keep putting this stuff on the site our trucks are going to be identical.
