If you are trying to stay stock I may be able to help you. I have removed my stock 85 GN air intake system because it is crap. I bought a crankcase breather filter and replaced the air intake with a Mike Hueffman cold air kit. I can send pics if you want of a better setup. Brad

Brad, I am trying to keep my 85 to close as stock as possible. I have the same problem with the oil fill cap and am trying to dress up the engine a bit. If you could post some pics of your setup that would be great. thanks.

2112- I will take pictures tomorrow morning in the daylight and e-mail them to you. The stock oil fill tube cost me three turbos due to pressurized block. Brad.

As I recall my nightmares-The stock oil fill tube has a hose which vents the block into the air intake. I installed a new cold air intake kit (hueffman Good kit) and my mechanic put in another hose to vent the block. One bad new turbo threw enough oil to plug up the that vents the block. Two new turbos later Limit Eng. solved the problem-Presurized block.
I now have a Postons oil fill cap on the valve cover which relieves block presure and the cold air kit works great. A pressurized block prohibits the oil sent to the turbo from draining into the lifter valley.Brad
