Default umbrella valve locations

I have a 1998 road king with 1340 cc evo. My question is where is the correct location of the umbrella valve in the rear cyl. is it right above breather hole to carb? And is the correct location of the umbrella valve in front cyl. in the same spot above breather breather hole to carb or is it at the front of the cyl. I think I have it in the worng spot on the front cyl. I keep blowing out rocker box gaskets.

Yes, both umbrella valves should be above the breather holes. Front cyl. = right-rear corner, rear cyl. = right-front corner.

Good luck,

John
