You can't take the baffles apart, you can only spray brake cleaner in them. You should have seen the crap that came out of mine. There is a sticky in the FAQ's section from mrnickleye and I posted about cleaning the cam cover baffles.
I dont know man, the guy said specifically, it cause massive oil consumption and pcv routing too much oil. Although think about it. If the baffles were clogged, the valve covers themselves wouldnt put any oil into the pcv. BUT, The pcv intake hose also pulls from the throttle body area aswell. If my turbo was blown and was spraying oil into the intake, it would in theory get sucked up through there. And recirc in a giant cycle adding more oil as it went along. This is all to much speculation though, ill post back when i get test results.
