Default Complete Redo Of PCV System

Finally ripped out ALL of the pcv lines on my 98. If you guys dont already know the 98s have a really gay location for the pcv system and can be affected by heat more easily. I ripped everybit of the old lines off. I mean everything.. Ill take more pics of the aftermath in daylight tommorow and edit this, essentially you unplug everything and rip it out..


Thanks to this thread I made a new housing....
http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread...ht=pcv+housing

I bought...

5 foot of 3/8 fuel line/emissions hose.
new style pcv valve (1009 part number.. at otterzone)
3/8 T line fitting
1/2 to 3/8 air line adapter
Heater hose(for pcv valve/ air line adapter)
Clamps


Here is a given example of the ROT



and these are where you connect the new lines


then to this

and finally to this


done!

I would love to see full motor pictures of it all installed. I have one bypassed on the passenger side valve cover but wanting to fix this.

Did you get all of these parts at Autozone and what was the cost for everything? Thanks

Cant really see much with it all tucked behind the cowl neatly.

Brass t-fitting=around 5 bucks..
hose=around 10-15 bucks..
pcv valve=7 bucks
1/2 to 3/8 air adapter=around 5 bucks.
Hose clamps=3 bucks

I really want to start making these

Ive had a couple of people contact me locally and on a few websites. I can throw a few of these together as prototypes and sell them on the cheap for the first few sets. Im always looking for something that looks better
