Today I was doing my spark plugs and right before I tightened the two screws for the air intake, the rubber part of my PCV hose snapped in half.

My car was taken to jiffy lube by my dad as I needed an oil change and had no time to do it myself, turns out they tried to do my spark plugs (I didn’t know they actually went into my engine until I found a lose bolt and overly tight plug) and most likely snapped it. I literally just lightly tapped it with my hand putting the plastic cover on and that did it in.

It currently is held on with a 7/64 fuel line and my prayers to god. I couldn’t find any hose that looked like it could fit it but the 7/64 worked with some elbow grease and carving.

I don’t want to change the whole thing, the car is in its final couple years. I have chopped it up on the 401 and 407 and needs a new cat. I’ve seriously considered straight piping it.

If anyone knows what the exact size of that hose is, that’d be great. Even if a garden hose fits, a couple zip ties go a long way.

ok. I’m guessing what you need would be either 3/8 or 1/2 inch. But looking at your picture, are you just wanting that to fit better?

I just added a vented Oil cap. this is a much better choice in my Opinion. Since I replaced the oil cap no more oil leaks. I also use full synthetic oil.
