Installed on a Cub copy with an O-200. The breather line was moved to the starter blank plate with an internal baffle installed. Works great!!! No more oil on the belly of the plane and very little oil collects in the can.
I was warned not to use this because if it freezes you could blow the seal in your engine, loose all your oil crash and burn

Overall height is 5-1/2"
It would vent air out of the top it the engine compartment, but oil would be held in the can until drained.
