1-3-2-4 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm talking about the hose from the PCV valve to the tee I had to remove it when it was about 20F and it just pretty much split into two pieces.. Now I do have another on another motor but I rather start with a new hose so I wont have to deal with this again. Anyone know the size?

Fairtax4me Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 It's roughly 5/8". You have to get that one from Subaru. The bend it takes is too much for the straight molded hose at the parts store, it'll just kink in the middle. Or maybe find a 90° elbow to put in the middle.

MilesFox Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 if you are using standard hose, run enough length to get a bend radius that won't kink. Source vinyl hose FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 I never saw a part number for the hose.. but I saw one for a 2000 outback.. with a dealer discount it was still almost $30 for the hose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Ha, tried to take the PCV hose off the EJ22 I'm about to put in.. I figured nice 46F warm day.. well I got it off the block end and it snapped at the PCV end.. DOH! From what I hear it has to be emission rated hose right?

Fairtax4me Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yes, it will be exposed to oil. Some parts stores have emmission hose in bulk much cheaper than buying the boxed stuff. Get 4 or 5 feet and make new breather hoses for the valve covers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
