Those ports connect into the crankcase so there is adequate venting. This is the procedure I used on my last engine as well and didn't have any issues as a result. I just hate the idea of all that oil accumulating in the intake tract, intercoolers, throttlebodies, intake manifold, valves, etc. [ ashspecz.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ] Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W.
