I would say buy a Bailey one, I have always used them.

I think GRS do a system that does not breathe into the cam cover.

Just get the alloy tank powder coated black.

I would not breath from the top of the cam cover if it was my car. You can use any three-port system, just breath from under the inlet and exhaust manifold and drain to the sump.

I can supply both Bailey and Pro-alloy (who do a black option) products .

Do you use a one way valve for the return to the sump ?
I mean, if you don't have a valve, when the pressure enters the sump, the oil doesn't go out via the return hose ?

Have the return under oil level in the sump like the original return, then you dont have any problem

sos guys i'm really confused, ive pulled the breather kidney box off and now theres a hole in the block is it one pipe to there, then just below the old kidney box theres a hole in the sump is this another hole that has to breath, or is it the return instead of going to atmoshere and the bolt has to come out under the exhaust manifold for a breath pipe?,

am i right in thinking buy a 3port breather, top left breather pipe to hole under exhaust, top right pipe to old kidney box hole in block, the bottom pipe on the breather goes to the old ford hole in the sump, that use to go to the bottom of the kidney box?

cheers
