I pulled off the track after my heat race and noticed the breathers had fallen off. I put them back on for the A feature and made sure they were tight and they both came off again. Anyone know what would cause this? They are the short steel valve covers from Speedway.

Are the breather's fitting properly? Im guessing they are to big for the stacks on the v/c. Even excess blowby shouldn't push them off, unless they are completely clogged up or oil soaked rags restricting the blowby.

Did you push them all the way down until the tops hit the stack and once pressure built up it blew them off?
