Dual K&N Valve Cover Breathers

Hi:

 

I am just getting my feet wet with a recently purchased 77Z w/ 350SBC.

 

One issue I seem to have is the valve cover breathers, which are K&N brand with a "universal" gasket. These are a huge pain to remove and replace when I have to add oil, and I am wondering what, if any, are my alternatives?

 

Upon replacing them after adding oil, I smush the things down so much, I'm not sure if it is worth it.

 

Also, what is the effect of dual breathers compared to having a PCV on one side and breather on another? Does this enhance or detract from performance? I seem to reach a "flat spot" in the upper rev ranges, but I suspect something else is the culprit.

 

FWIW, my valve covers appear to be standard "CHEVROLET" covers, not the tall covers favoured by Grumpy.

 

Thanks for all of the help!

 

Chris
