Yes, most do, however the 24v really don't need one.

Why doesan't it need one...currently there is one on the front cover that you have to bypass and collect someplace else...

There may be some out there that don't, but I don't recall ever seeing one. All I recall normally have two places to either screw fittings in or plug.

The oem is fine, I have a 3' hose on mine routed about a foot high then back down. Not sure what you mean "bypass it".

Keating Machine makes one with oil baffles & ports.

You can plug the ports with -12AN male ORB aluminum/brass fittings if you feel you don't need them, or ask him to make one without ports.

Reading your other post about pulling And resealing your engine it sounds like your wanting to eliminate the one in the front cover and vent through your tappet cover. They do make a tappet cover with a breather for a 24 valve and VP44. Most are for the P Pump conversion so make sure you get the right one.

Here's an example.

What are you going to do with the breather in the front?
Im almost certain A 12 valve cover won't work on a 24 valve, the P Pump is much larger and heavier than the VP44. I've not seen a front cover for a 24 valve (no CCV) but that doesn't mean one doesnt exist. It would be alot of extra expense, like Nick says a hose routed down is much simpler

If you are not looking to spend $300 on a new cover I've seen a few guys that have modified the stock cover (drilled and tapped the top, must be careful when selecting where to drill so as not to interfere with the rockers) and run a vent hose back and down to eliminate the oil mist getting into the radiator etc. I simply extended the stock breather (99's didn't have the puke bottle) hose down then back along the frame to just aft of the X-fer case skid-plate turning the hose down a bit.

PEAK Diesel has a relocation kit. I replaced the hose, I felt it was not going to stay round. I installed the fill/breather inside the drivers side front bumper. I added a brass 90 to direct the hose better. Pic is after de greasing entire engine bay and underneath, what a mess!

I'd making sure oil mist doesn't end up on brake pads...

Good point but mine is mounted outboard on the front fender support. I would notice oil on the outside of the front tire.

Built-in tire shine applicator! Too bad only for one wheel

 

[Cummins12V98]

I am assuming the PEAK recovery bottle with the filter on the top will keep any oil vapors inside the canister???

 

[hammersley]

thanks for the input....

I extended my engine venting hose all the way to the fuel tank. I'm guessing about 10' of additional 3/4" heater hose is what I used, which runs down under the engine, tie strapped and clamped along the frame in various locations to assure no dips and sags, and back to a location just in front of the fuel tank. Been like that for a long time. Rarely do I ever see a drip form at the hose end too...

 

[Joe Mc]

MHO = $200 + shipping for a fancy vent/filter kit or $20 for hose and tie wraps. I went with the lesser cost option.

A stock 12v cover works fine too, and alot cheaper than billet.
