Just completed my crankcase breather re-route, was pretty easy, took a ride, noticed it held back a little. Now sitting here at work, I just realized I never plugged the holes in the intake plate where I pulled the original hoses out of, Doh! That's probly my reason why it feels a slight different. What did you guys use to plug those holes? Silicon?
I left mine open... i drilled the aluminum backplate and tapped for pipe, installed (2)45 degree pipe street elbows with barbed hose fittings. Ran rubber hose between front and back to a tee and again from tee down to breather ASM. Basically the oil is heavier than air, falls to the bottom and is drained off to the bottom.
I used a couple of bolts, washers and nuts. Sealed it all up with silicon and tightened the bolt up. Works well.

Thanks EastTex!!
Thanks guys, yes I got the set up all done, was easy. just over looked to plug up the open holes in my air cleaner back plate. I wasn't sure if you had a good solid way to plug them other than silicone

We have have had people use jb weld or just a rubber plug, but you can do what ever way is best for you
