Can this solve U'all flame trap, oil seperator problems? 200

It seems to me that many bricksters have problems with too much crankcase pressure, that the flame trap and oil seperator is constantly causing grief.

What about this approach:

Take off the valve cover and drill a hole in the middle, small/large enough to fit a Japanese styl PCV valve. (PCV =positive crankcase ventilation) Put the valve cover back on with new gasket. Then hook this PCV valve up to the vacuum system. Now, if you want to replace the PCV valve just remove and plug back in a new one with your pinky.

Disclaimer: This is just an idea that my mind is processing, I have never tried it, but it seems that Japanese cars which use this approach to PCV does not have such severe PCV problems.
