[Fot] Valve cover breather

[Bill Babcock]

No idea. I've always had a breather on mine so I couldn't say what the result
would be of eliminating it, but I suspect the gasket might leak worse than it
already does. The stock TR3s have a breather, in that the oil fill cap isn't
sealed. Of course Tech generally won't let you do that with an engine that's
to be raced on a track.

Is there any advantage to add a breather to the stock valve cover on a TR3
or early TR4 engine? I've read articles that small block V8s "breathe
easier, hinting that performance is increased, is this an old wives tale or
is there some benefit to be gained?

Thank you
