yeah, here you go... I hope this is better... it's kinda pixilated
would I need 2 filters? or can I just get a cap to put on the intake and a filter on the crankcase vent?
to have a filter on the valve cover is a must, but to have one on your intake is optional.

what i did is put a fuel filter between the hose so i dont need a breather but i can eep the breather i jsyts didnt want my intake sucking up any oil . hasnt happneed yet but on my friends car his filter got full of oil after a while
your car is designed that way they come with the valve cover ventilation. it will spit oil out of it when driven hard, they are suppossed to. all hondas burn a little oil if you notice when you drive your civic hard for extended periods of time between oil changes youll be a little low maybe up to a quart low in some cases. this is supposed to happen. you do need to either out a hose on it or put a filter on it i used a piece of hose and routed it down, i didnt want to spend $4-10 on a filter i dont like how they look and it does nothing for your car but add a little filter element to the vent. its all up to you, its personal preference. if you put nothing on it it will eventually spit oil out onto your intake eventually. If you notice honda has it running to your intake as well so if anyone doesnt want oil going into your intake well,..... it happens from the factory as well.
yeah, you only need one on the head. the only reason I put one on the intake tube was 'cause I honestly couldn't find anything to cap it off with so I just bought a second filter.dadallyllama said:
not only oil, but theres the possibility of tiny metal shavings being sucked in by the vacuum also...98civichx said:

i might get a filter to replace the ugly blue tube i have going thru... although i might just get a black hose cuz it's cheaper.
btw, redsidriver2... how did u put a fuel filter in between? those f**kers are big.
