I read something about oil potentially leaking out into the AC in another thread - a possible by-product of a Stage 1 upgrade. But I've looked around DK's web site and see lots of products but no comments directly on that issue. What am I look for? Is it just the addition of a breather?

(BTW, I just saw S&S is only $114 at Eastern Performance, too. Gotta like that!)

Ok, got it. But if I don't have that issue now, will it be likely that I cause it with an AC change? Is the oil blow a function of the AC, or is it the engine (and the AC is the just lucky recipient of the blow back)?

In the old days we used to dump that stuff on the ground and pollute the environment. Now, I stay awake wondering where it goes.

Yes the air cleaner is the place where your blow by is going. As said before look into the dk discreet breather or I've seen others construct there own systems. Also stated before try 3 1/2 quarts instead of 4 quarts of oil. I've noticed with 3 1/2 quarts that I see less oil on the air filter. Still some but not as much as if I were to run 4 quarts.

If you're going to stay with the stock breather system (ie blowing it down the intake) I'd go with the the S.E. it does a neater job of it than the Ness.I ran one of those on my Dyna for years never lost a drop.
