Without taking apart a B18 valve cover cap, I suspect its an open passage way without a flapper valve within. At least on a vintage cap
On B18 setup, intake suction was used at bottom of block, so yes, valve cover cap would be sucking filtered air until 'excess' blow-by existed, then it would blow blow-by into air filters' cavity.
RE: "...reversal..gases....stock B230F pcv setup."
If so, then a "vintage cap" may loose its flapper seal function, as in stuck closed on mine.
Just an experiment....either real crank seal is shot, or increased blow-by exist.
