Vargas Crankcase Breather s55

does anyone have this product and does it fit? it’s designed to vent extra crankcase pressure and not let air in. i tested with a vacuum hose and it definitely works.

however i’m having trouble installing it. the instructions say using the oem oil cap gasket but that’s already installed on the vargas product.

it’s supposed to fit the s55 based on their website.

is there something i’m missing and does anyone have this product and how did you guys manage to install it?

I have BMS catch can, works great. Other folks use Mishimoto catch can and both work great, haven't much about using this set-up. The issue with this filter set up is the timing chain will sling oil up/vapor around that front area of engine/valve cover and that filter will get saturated quickly. To me the best option is stock valve cover with Mishi or BMS catch can.

update: it’s a very snug fit but fits like a glove.
