+1, screw all that PITA just for a better pcv system
pcv does little in the first place, lowers oil acidity, thats about it.
Changing out the valve covers is not a difficult task. Was only a slight issue due to my manifold setup. The old pcv worked fine, this was to simplify the system and also to improve. Pcv at the VC vs the valley, pics up less oil. And pcv is important, especialy to computer controlled cars.
Its all done now anyway
