Maybe im lucky but mines been on 18 months without a problem. Isolated on rubber mounts and I don't vent my breather back into the intake. No oil or vibration to kill em.

venting the oil vapour to atmosphere instead of back into your intake system, keeps your system clean

block off tip, get a catch can, plumb into catch can instead ...... (got pics of mine but their not close up ones, just engine shots in general, so no good really)

Rip it all off. Then pipe off the block vent and pipe of the cam cover... catch can, FTA vent, entirely upto you. Anyway, just not into the intake.

Instead of just buying something because someone else has done it, why not do the research... find out why you need one and the effects. Google is your friend.
