i did this mod many years ago... it does work, blank off one of the small pipes and the other one to a catch tank.
As it says make sure to clean all sealant off, cut plate to size and refit

Great. Thanks for the reply. I am not familiar with a catch tank.
Is it literally somewhere for the excess oil to sit, that is manually emptied, or does it have a way of re entering the system?

A tank that catches any excess oil that leaves the rocker cover. If its fills you empty it manually, it doesnt return to the engine.
