They definitely look beautiful compared to your original Amazon design! Lol...
I believe you will still have to drill the hole in the oil cap and connect the mechanical vacuum gauge. This is so you can measure the negative pressure (vacuum) in the crankcase. Remember from previous posts, it can't be less than -10. The happy spot is around -8 vacuum on idle.
