I didn't buy the MM set up but made one of my own where the fuel pump
block off plate goes. It pumped oil out of the filter with no PCV!
With the PCV hooked up to the rocker or t/cover and the new vent just
open, it is OK. No PCV and it pumped oil.
How's that go?
Been there, done that, and cleaned up an oily engine bay.
BUT......Others have had good luck with the system.
I firmly beleive each engine is very different.
I have 5 1275s on the road and each one has different vent needs.
1 needs no vent at all and another needs all the venting you can give
it!
Your needs may vary
