Detailed Product Overview

Gates EMH270 is an engine crankcase breather hose engineered for the emission control system on select Ford and Lincoln models. It is designed for the valve cover to intake tube connection and uses clip-on ends at both sides for a direct replacement style installation. The molded plastic construction and OE-exact comparison rating make it a practical choice when replacing a worn, cracked, or leaking breather hose on a Ford Edge, Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus X, Lincoln MKX, Lincoln MKS, or Lincoln MKT. This part cross-references Ford OE number 7T4Z 6758 AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or brittle breather hose material
• Oil vapor leaks at the valve cover or intake tube connection
• Loose or damaged clip-on hose ends
• Emission system flow issues caused by hose deterioration
• Unstable crankcase ventilation routing from a failed original hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing before removal so the replacement follows the original path from the valve cover to the intake tube. Inspect the mating ports and retaining clips for wear, oil residue, or damage before installing the new hose. Confirm the end style and dimensions match the vehicle connection points on your Ford Edge, Taurus, Flex, Taurus X, or Lincoln MKX, MKS, and MKT application.
