Mike could you not just lose the kidney and block off the original oil return and breathe from the block using one of these

If you want to do it without drilling the cam cover, Dave Hensell has detailed a solution on Franco's thread (see link below his signature). This requires both the flame trap AND kidney pot being removed though.
It also requires the fitting in Paul's post.....

Any way you do it without draining to the sump is going to suffer this way, so absolutely no point what-so-ever in drilling the cam cover....
done.
i say this as i can bothered to remove the inlet manifold, and the kidney pot, and also i have a mirror image breather and draing to the point under the kidney pot would be a pain in the arse
cheers guys
drill is spinning
