Getting ready to put cam covers on. What material do you use for the vent tubes. It looks to be a "scotch-brite" material.

I used scotch-brite, the green stuff. Folded it up on itself a few times and secured with the stock wire.

Layer the Scotch-brite & pack in as much as you can. Will breath fine & will help keep oil in the engine.
UPDATE:
Our preferred mist extraction filter.

All,
This is an old thread. Ultimately I replaced the Scotchbrite I originally installed w foam material from Marc Haibeck. Even replacing it in one cam cover was enough to eliminate a persistent oil leak I had when winding the motor beyond 5K.
