Pressure relief valve? There is none in the single plastic plug breather. If you 
just meant he steel cup that drops down into the hole under the plug, you're 
right, it's supposed to drop down. I wonder if it could have stuck up so high 
that the plastic cap sealed off the top of it?

Do you get vapor venting out of the breather hose port on the RR of the 
breather box while the engine is running? You should, and if not, there must 
be something plugging your breather.
