Reply to "Valve cover breathers / PCV advice"

This quote by Pantera Doug, makes me question his "sanity"/"level of insanity" even MORE!

"The Cleveland valve covers and head in particular retain about 3 inches of oil in the valve cover to cool the valve springs".

So I wondered...How many quarts of oil would it take to fill a OEM 351 Cleveland valve cover up to a height of "3 inches"??!! & then subsequently HOW MANY quarts would be remaining in the oil pan?!

Once I get to my Top Secret, Highly Fortified, Miles beneath the surface Underground Testing lab, I will report back my undeniable, indisputable, beyond reproach test conclusions...Mark
