I am looking to see how someone has done a breather kit to keep the oil from going into the throttle body with the Chisel air cleaner. Thank you in advance.
I don’t have a chisel air cleaner but mine uses the same back plate. I don’t have any pictures of how I did it but it just so happens that it’s all taken apart right now so I could change lifters and it’s going back together tomorrow. I’ll take a few pictures and try to describe what I did then post it on here as soon as I get a chance.
Good video, and if someone doesn't have the wherewithal to make a jig and/or bore the back plate mounting holes deeper to be able to use the stock breather bolts, Kuryakyn has 1/2" longer breather bolts #9976 for like $10. At one point I was using them on a HD Chisel Extreme breather, when I was using a similar method for the bypass as yours.
Also, just another thing just to make life easier, If you're using a OEM style breather bolts (instead of the ones that come with the new backplate) you don't have to worry about about blocking off the breather hole/passages in the back plate... because the "breather" hole in the OEM style bolt is end to end, there's nothing (pressure or fluid) being released in to those passages in the back plate (those style breather bolts by design block it off). This is different than the breather bolts that actually come with the new back plates which have holes in the side of the shaft of the bolt, that releases that pressure/oil thru those passages and into the intake. It doesn't hurt to block the passages off in the backplate, but not necessary if using the OEM style breather bolts. Plus if you don't block those passages, and if for some reason you wanted/needed to, you could always just switch the bolts out to the ones that came with the new breather and it's right back to its "original design".
