Sorry to hear about the trouble Ron! I had a bunch of things come up after I started driving mine too, it definitely sucks but you have the right attitude for sure!
As for the breather I had the same issues but after going to my current setup (RX Monster Can) and adding a clean side separator its has resolved that issue. If you decide to drill and tap the covers for a bigger fitting just remember to weld in a baffle of some sort
