Heads up for those installing FS2500

Just thought I would give a heads up to any one thinking of installing the FS 2500. Ever since I installled the FS I was having issues of an excess amount of oil coming out of the blow-by tube making a terrible mess underneath the truck I had the return line off the FS returning into the side of the valve cover gasket about 1/3 of the way back from the front. So yesterday I blocked off the FS return line and went for a trip down the highway i held a steady 2500rpm for a good 1/2 hour got home and checked things out no mess. I can only assume that the topend was being overoiled and the FS return was shooting oil across the top and down the pushrod side of the motor and getting caught up with the crankcase pressure and being blown out the tube which has been relocated to the drivers side. I haven't yet decided whether to move the return line to the top of the valve cover or move it down and return it into the side of the oil pan. Hope this is of some use to anybody thinking of installing a bypass filter.
