    not quite following you,
    would you be able to post a sketch, explaining

    Cut the bitter end of this downward vertical extension on a severe bias, so that there becomes a "Leading edge" of hose before the elongated opening to atmosphere.

    Thanks a lot for you time on this,

    This is the best I can do without a camera.

    We are looking at the rear of the hose after its end (Bitter end) is cut on a severe bias (Slash-cut, elongated-cut, slanted) ...

    The idea is to have a good-sized opening at the rear of the hose ... leaving ample area in the front where the air will have to rush-around the front of the hose.

    I'd fabricate this outlet with rigid material ... PVC, Copper, Aluminum ... your choice.

    you could use the vent system idea from a quater midget race kart...catch tube type and vent top to breather...maybe one from a drag bike ,mod. to fit?

    Hi XJers, does anyone think the lack of PCV back into the intake could result in valve cover oil seepage? ive been mulling this over for awhile, it seems that when i went to 4-2 Ex with pods and the painfull rejet of my carbs i gained a seep out of my valve cover, 2 valve gasket changes later its still happening, not serious but definatly anyoying!

    The problem is less likely to be Crankcase gases, as it is Heat related form running hotter with the Pods.

    The Scavenge Oil in the Cam Gallery's is Hotter (thus) thinner than before the Pods happened.

    Look on eBay and find an Oil Cooler set-up off a Turbo or a 900.
    That will help you with some of that heat.
