So is the orifice of the partload breather only visible upon removal. And all you will be doing is cleaning the crud that builds up while contained under the valve cover?
I'm trying to wrap my brain around what you are really doing. In my head now I picture a part with a 90 degree bend that clogs from inside the valve cover. And in order to clean the air way you need to use a 7/64" drill bit to ream the hole clean?
Rather than reaming can you use a solvent, MAF cleaner, to do the same thing?
Just trying to understand!

As I have read, the Lincoln LS uses the same block, only at 3.9 liter instead of 4.0. As time goes on, mabe some Nikasil blocks will be replaced with motor pulls from whacked Lincolns. I gotta '03 4.2 .. but did alot of reading ... just in case. Don't know if the Lincoln uses the zf tranny, but sleeving a 4.0 has gotta be a costly and mediocre endeavor. Also, Ford machines their engine bores eliptically in tenths (0.0001's) so it's not likely that a sleeve job would give you the best results in any event.
This probably doesn't apply to Jag owners, but I do know that "seasoned" engines that have been over-heated, can get ring sieze .. certainly contributing to blowby. An old-timey remedy, is a few ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder soaking overnight. Just thought I'd through that in, since "additives" were mentioned here in this thread. Have fun, Be Safe
