formulajones what do you mean by different style? if you mean valley pan instead of valve cover, they make an adapter grommet if i recall.
My first impression is that you are using the Wagner PCV valve to cover up other issues with the engine: (Oil Leaks, Ring Seal, etc).

But your engine and whatever works for you.

Since the Big 3 all used PCV Valves of the same design and with approximately 4.5 cfm flow, amazing how their stuff did such a great job over many years with a very low cost part.
