Are breather systems tested by Fast Ford once? I know they did a RS500 intercooler test once or twice before.

Pro alloy which is a bailey style one on mine. I breath from the exhaust side of the block, inlet side of the block, and a return to the sump under oil level, then you have the atmosphere take off. Mine been fine so far.

A WRC style breath is allways going to be the best option but it does cost.
