What ever you do just be conscious of your ventilation system. I fought oil leaks for years. Recently I went back to the original PVC design with a “vent” on the right side up to the air cleaner using early 70’s Camaro parts and a PVC on the left. Solved most of my oil my leak problems. Engine is now properly “ventilated” and with good gaskets oil leaks are a thing of the past!

PS. I didn’t understand how important a proper engine ventilation system was until I read through the posts on this board on the subject. Great group of knowledgeable people on this board!
