Breather mods for a 58 SM 700 motor

I have pulled the motor down for my 58 Chief and finding nothing needs replacing except may be a new set of standard bore rings (the barrel still has hone marks). I am about ready to put the motor back together. Does anyone know what the breather mods are for a 1958 SM 700 motor are? I would like to undertake the mods while i have the motor apart.
Regards Charles

Some of what is described in this article is considered breather mods, some of it is re-routing oil to the top end. Mainly prevention of pressurized oil going across the crankcase joint, as is done in the original configuration of pre-series II twins.

I installed a catch can, then a PCV, then a duckbill, then a PCV
AND
duckbill. I never could get it to stop spewing oil out of there. I gave up on it.
