"The solution for the spilling out the breather hole is to fill the unit with less than 4 ounces".

"After pressing Vortech tech help on the issue they tell me that for road racing in particular you need just 2.5 to 3 ounces to compensate for the oil expanding at temperature. More than that amount and it barfs it out".
928 basically told me the same thing although they didn't say Vortech recommends plugging the vent hole, they did say that Vortech told them it would not hurt it. Needless to say, I wasn't willing to take that chance but I was thinking of putting a pressure gauge on there to see how much pressure it does produce.
