Re: [Chrysler300] things that go BOOM

It should have had a road draft tube or better yet a PVC set up on it, 
having a breather on both valve covers will not purge the blow by gases. 
The factory would not have put a road draft tube on to begin with if it was 
unnecessary. The PVC setup is better yet because it keeps things ventilated 
at any speeds, the road draft tube needs about a 25 mph breeze to work 
efficiently.
