Here's a video of the valve covers on my 68 Mustang, with the blue LEDs installed and also with the revised oil cap and baffle arrangement. The video makes the LEDs look really bright, but they aren't quite that bright in person. So far with only 75 or so miles on this new set of clear covers, the LEDs are holding up OK and I don't have any oil coming out of the breathers. So, if it lasts the summer that way hopefully the breather situation will be resolved...

Looks good Jay. Doesn't seem to be a lot of oil flying around the heads as it does when the covers are off. I`m surprised that the drains are clearing the rails out. Flow seems to be maybe half of what you see with standard rockers. Maybe cause of the roller rockers?

It flies around pretty good at 2000 RPM, but not at idle. I do have 0.070" Holley Jets in the heads to restrict some oil to the top end. I'm not sure if the roller rockers restrict further or not...
