There 2 fixes for that:
1/remove it
2/recirc it
The third option is to deal with it and hope it will never suck enough dust to damage your engine (hope is not something you should count on with engines IMHO but to each their own)

I actually spent a metric fuckton of time last night sitting down with the FSM and looking over my engine. The guy who originally helped me out with the motor as I was learning was a little off on some of the workings of the motor, so there are some issues here and there.
One such instance is that the valve cover breather was hooked up to nothing. When I created a port and connected it to the intake (custom intercooler and intake piping), that instantly helped idle and vacuum levels (I would normally sit at 15in/hg, I now sit at a healthy 20in/hg).
I'm already planning on going and getting a piece of steel tubing to weld in to create a port to recirc the BOV.
Thanks for responding though, greatly appreciated!
