What's your preferred PCV setup?

My driver side has a regular breather with a tube coming off it, I hooked to a heater hose and just dropped on the fender-well
The passenger side has one of those that exits like a U shape that just snaps on. There was a splash guard covering the inside of the valve cover where it plugs in, but I had to remove it as the rockers are too large... so oil splashes up and in, and air pressure helps in the crankcase and the result is oil gets out and onto the headers and header collectors constantly.

I'm not a huge fan of routing it back into my intake manifold, although it helps power, it also dirties everything up. and of course I'm losing oil without a splash guard...

I wonder if there exists a PCV cap breather that has it's own oil trap built-in?

My preferred method? A vaccum pump system to evac the vapors and hold a vaccum on the crankcase. Squeaky clean inside, no leaks, and adds an avg of 10-15 hp on the dyno.... but in reference to your dilema, either taller valve covers with the baffle installed, or they do make baffled breathers but i doubt those would fix your current issue

Any recommendations on taller valve covers? I have a hard time finding ones that don't leak due to crappy design, even with the good rubber with interior steel band gaskets.

Connect a vapor separator from the breather cap and back to the air cleaner.

Anything that is not tin like the stock or el cheapos should seal. Nothing seals to a stock head without good rtv. You can go with just about any brand. I have mopar performance cast covers on my 440 with -1 heads, factory steel style chromes on the 426 and stock heads, and sheetmetal indys on the 572. None leak.
