Does anyone know of a rocker breather mod that stops the ingress of oil into
the inlet manifold ?
Mine keeps gunking up with the soot from the EGR and the oil
from the rocker breather. the combination Looks like black toothpaste.
Can either system be disconnected safely or adapted to stop this gunk build up ?

I have removed my EGR using an Allard racepipe (and blanking kit on the exhaust manifold) and have plugged the CCV pipe and routed it to atmos down by the subframe. Nice clean inlet manifold for me.

Note though, the EGR is what 99% cacks up the inlet manifold. CCV is nowhere near as bad. The gunk is mainly exhaust particulates.

Thanks for the information, I will look into this modification.
There are differences between my engine and yours but think its the same principle.
