Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the hose routing before removal, since this application is used in two positions: valve cover to intake tube and valve cover to oil separator. Verify the inside diameters and clip-on ends match the original hose before installation. Inspect adjoining fittings, seals, and the oil separator or intake tube connection points for wear or damage before reassembly.
