I asked & you answered, thanks.. actually I'm running somewhat the same setup, only my intake oil cap is a std large filtered Autolite cap & also with a PCV setup. It has been suggested here that the filtering of that cap may be marginal, but I don't drive the car in bad conditions (dust etc). So, I'm going with it as is.. So far it seems to be working well. N.B.- late correction; I described the above cap as being an Autolite..the labels off it, but I believe that should have read "Motorcraft".

Being an open faced filter I'm assuming at speed it could cause air to be forced into the crankcase. Other than that I just liked it better than the one without it. The shield only blocks the front of the filter the rest is open. I am also running a PCV valve and no lower crankcase breather.

Hey Moonshadow; Obviously I'm missing something here.. Why would you want to prevent air going into the filtered oil cap ? Does your engine have another source for crankcase ventilation?.. Or ?

The 4280 worked. No clearance issues.

I've ordered the Spectre #4280. I will keep you posted if that works.

Doesn't John recommend a certain cap for his valley covers? I have one of his covers and thought I got my cap based on his recommendation. Here it is Manufacturer | Source | Part number | Hose fitting? | Finish | Mr Gasket | Jegs | 720-2060 | No | | CP | | 70150 | No | | Stant | | 10061 | No | Cad | Stant | | 10070 | Yes | Cad | Spectre | | 4280 | No | Chrome |

If you have to go to a small cap.. keep in mind that on a stock engine, that is the only air intake for the crankcase breather setup. The filter material needs to be checked & serviced regularly or it will plug up & the engines crankcase breather setup will not work..leading to slugg buildup etc.
