   debating on changes the j4 covers to the newer jp4 covers, is there a advantage aka like better oil sealed?
   
   and is there any mods you have to do?
   
   all help is much appreciated

   think there is a hole on both covers as opposed to just the one. then the standard piping splits to go to both so you use that to either go to a catch tank or to the induction piping if taking that route.

   yeh i know the layout, if its that simple might have to do this! poxy oil leaks doing my head in. i already have a catch tank in place, even though I'm looking at removing to fit a breather instead to remove clutter :/
   
   decisions decisions lol
   
   thanks!

   as ryan said there is two breathers which just means the whole engine breaths better and as blacjkie said you can buy seals for them which makes life so much easier if i ever have some spare money then ill invest in some
