Thanks for the info so far, everyone. I resized the images a bit to make them smaller but still be able to see detail.

Without pulling the intake off, I have no way of knowing if the oil baffle is still in there. I'm hoping that it is. I'd really rather not break this down in the middle of driving season while it's running so well.

Also, the front cap on the oil filler is the open, mesh style one. Not a closed system.

I'm sure eventually I could do like some others on here, and remove that rear vent and hammer in an 1-1/4" freeze plug, and change my valve covers to a later style with the valve and breather in them.

But for now, I'm gonna pop over to Napa today and see what kind of small in-line PCV valves they might have that I can incorporate.
