this has always been up for discussion - weather you need to fit a breather to the top of the cam cover or. ive had cosworths with both set ups and both worked perfectly well.

btw im just about to fit a breather to my focus so ill let you know how i get on Andy

Mine breathes from both sides of the block, under the turbo and kidney box and returns to sump below oil level. Mine is a small turbo cam cover so not easy to breathe from the cam cover.
