There have been some oil carryover problems with S&S 4 1/8" bore,SSW motors.It's no secret. :angry:But your 2005 doesn't breathe like the older dogs... you just need to run that rear line to the floor. If you are getting enough oil out the rear to need a puke can you have a larger issue.
There have been some oil carryover problems with S&S 4 1/8" bore,SSW motors.It's no secret. :angry:
The way I solve the problem is:
1-Remove vacuum hose and hose barb from front head,block off hole(pipe plug),cap off vacuum fitting on intake manifold.
2-Add longer hose to rear head after the 1 way valve(black & white don't put 1 way valve on backwards),and run longer hose to atmosphere(no filter).
3-Remove 1 of the pipe plugs from rear of case(right side by oil pump),install a hose barb,hose and another 1 way valve(black & white S&S,or car pcv valve)don't put it on backwards,and vent to atmosphere.NO FILTERS !!!!!!!!!!
This WILL solve your problem.![]()
FWIW,when filters are used,most people let them clog up,and don't service them frequently enough.![]()

At times the heads don't drain quick enough.Couple that with a 4 1/8" piston creating major pressure on the downstroke,and you have a weak breather system overwhelmed.Raise compression,and sometimes that becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back.Intake manifold takes in a lot of oil through the vacuum fitting,etc.etc. :angry:John - can you explain the advantage the advantage of capping off the front cylinder vacuum hole - I know S&S say it is up to you whether or not you do that and I haven't as yet - I think Al has done that. Also why to put a separate case breather on? Thanks John
I have the same one Camaro. Have you ever tried to see if anything has accumulated in the can? Nothing in mine as of yet.heres mine.....
