ok i noticed that some of u have this thing called an oil cap breather...what exactly does that do? bonnie94sse has one i think this is a pic from his cardomian:
It does almost nothing. It is mostly for looks. There are a few people who say they help some fumes from within the engine escape but realistically you will see no efect from one being installed. I have one on mine but it is purely for looks only.
Some have said it can free up HP since it lets the engine breathe. I wish. But it looks good, especially with the logo I put on it.
Muslimsteel, you should've used my new engine pics on page 8.
It looks better now.

These were mainly used on old Carb model engines to help the PCV valve re-circulate unspent fumes. Nowadays, with Fuel Injection & computers, we no longer need breathers as our engines are better designed without them.
