no.... sorry that cant be if you look in the picture... taht is far too much oil to say that... at most you would hae less then an OZ or 2 if you soaked the filter... and im betting he has at least 2 to 3 OZ just when he took the pic of the pipe.... just look at the size of the oil mark

How do you delete the pcv valve? From the searching I've done, it doesn't seem 100% safe. What is involved?

The valley cover seems a little complicated for me right now. Maybe when I swap intakes I can change that out at the sametime.

I installed a breather (like the Metco) in place of the oil fill on the pass. side as well as removing the additional hose going to the TB...plugged the hose with a bolt and put a vacuum cap on the metal line of the TB...
I installed an old school Moroso breather in place of the pcv valve, however, it will not fit as is due to the coil bracket...so...I used a heater hose fitting and a small piece of hose to raise the breather up higher than the bracket...
I originally planned on running a hose to my exhaust using a check valve and a weld-in fitting I purchased...both Moroso, but haven't yet...just have the breather facing the firewall for now...minimal oil spray showing from several months use...the stock valve cover has a baffle at the pcv opening...this along with the metal mesh "filter" material in the Moroso breather minimizes any oil vapor or spray and allows what it catches to just run back down into the head...
Parish did a very similar set-up on his last tt motor...

look at the picture again.

the oil spot is inside the head unit, it does not come out to the end of
the opening.
it looks like the oil is coming from the inside of the unit, the end of the opening is
dry of oil.
