I hope he checked his breather valve and replaced the standard plastic one with a metal one ?
just because your FXDG had an issue dose not mean they all have a problem a problem with the breather, my 1983 FXWG still has its original breather . . .
my OEM plastic breather gear has ben in the whole life of my FXWG Wide Glide ! ( yes i did notice the plastic washer ) & made sure it was put in place before putting on cam cover !

True but if I was staring at it like you were I would pull it out and throw it as far away from me as possible. Otherwise my luck it would fail the following week after I gave it a clean bill of health.
hi every one hope you are doing alright !
