Third, I did find a discussion that suggested that the right side valve cover would have a higher oil level (and thus more oil droplets in the vapor) in race cars driven by high level drivers on a counter-clockwise course. That is because the G forces would pull oil toward the outside during the mostly left hand turns. As the OP is not likely to fall into this category of user, I stand by my earlier opinion that it doesn't much matter which valve covers has the PCV connection and which has the breather. |
What do you bet that if you hunt around you can find that exact same engine in something else from Ford, or a different year, that has the PCV over on the other side.
