You can cap the intake if you have breathers in the valve covers. Thats fine. I use to have 2 breathers, but I went back to a PCV system. Much cleaner if done right. The breathers tend to spray oil on the valve covers.

No problem. You would have problems if you capped the intake and had no breathers. But so long as the blow by has somewhere to go then your ok.

Because you didn't say in that post that you had installed open breathers on the covers ; only that you had plugged the PCV line.
