Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the valve cover to tube routing before installation and compare the hose shape, length, and end style to the original part. Inspect the mating tubes and nearby fittings for wear, contamination, or damage before pushing the hose into place. For best results, replace the hose when the engine is cool and confirm a secure seal after installation.
