Size of the breather holes on the valve covers?

I would go out and measure but my car is a few miles away. Are the holes the standard 1.25 on the center-bolt valve covers?

i'd go out and measure mine for you but me and my car aren't even in the same time zones. i was thinking mine was 1", but it's been over a year since i needed to know or measured it.

Can you use a breather instead of an oil cap? I was wondering cause I saw a pic of a breather in the place of where my oil cap is... but it may have just been a different model with the oil cap on the other side. I mean, it's not pressurized in the valve covers, right? So I could just use a breather instead of an oil cap theoretically right?

Putting the breather on the same side as the PVC would be defeating the purpose. I'm pretty sure you can only put the breathe ron teh side without a PVC
