tagailoilo is an unknown quantity at this point

bent breather hose

i just installed a new intake and the breather hose that connects the intake pipe nipple to the valve cover nipple is slightly bent, causing some restrictions but not completely. so will that cause any problems?

thanks for the input! much appreciated!

EDIT: This is what it looks like. Is this bad?

Re: bent breather hose

I used a zip tie and rigs it a little. It shouldnt be much of a problem though as long as it isnt completely kinked.

Re: bent breather hose

zip tie works great yeah. heres mine. i would try and keep it as open as possible. you dont want it getting plugged when the vacuum comes thru.

Re: bent breather hose

I tried to straighten it out, but the breather hose just won't go in completely on the valve cover nipple. Any tips? I tried putting a little bit of oil around the nipple, but it doesn't go in all the

Thanks again!
