02 WS6 LS1 PCV Gromet Bad I was looking around and noticed the gromet that holds the PCV was torn on my car. I want to keep my PCV setup on the car so im looking for anyone wanting to get rid of this PCV Gromet. I dont need the hose that goes to the covers just the small hose attached to intake and the gromet that holds the PCV. THanks
I included an attachment of the part needed (Circled in Red).
P.S for admin . I cannot post to allot of the sections like the classifieds so that is why i posted here. Please fix this issue for me.

If you are talking about the bent rubber peice that actually slids up to the throttle body, when mine got a split in it. I just pulled it off the rest of the stuff you circled and replaced it with some rubber fuel line.

Can't you still get this from the dealer? I know some stuff is already being dis'coed, but have you checked on this one yet?

Yea, i checked dealer,they sell it one complete assembly, hoses,PCV Gromet, PCV for 100.00. I dont need anything but the gromet that the PCV slids into. Any 99-02 Camaro, Firebird, Corvette with LS1 they said are all the same. Thought maybe someone junken out a car or motor or someone who has eliminated this from their car would get rid of the piece. Here's a color pic attached.

You don't need to pay more than $2 for that; just go to your local parts store and buy the correct size rubber hose and it should be fine. That's what I did and it works fine-no need for some fancy dealership piece...
Wait, you're not talking about the angled hose are you.
So you're saying that the part AFTER the angled hose is what broke?

Nope not hte angle hose, the gromet that houses the PCV valve inside on it. It reduces down to a smaller diameter where the hard plastic line that goes to the covers push into. Make it a little simple the one end that the PCV fits into is about the size or a quarter and it reduces to the size of about a dime so the hose will fit inside of it. Thanks

You might be able to find an aftermarket version of that or a similar part at a local auto parts store. The "HELP!" brand usually makes all kinds of grommets and accessories like that.

Yea, i tried 3 different parts stores and they couldn't find anything that was close. They all said it would be a OEM part from a dealer. I really not into rigging things to work i like to replace with original or aftermarket OEM fit parts. The few i did find wouldnt hold hte PCV in or they didnt reduce to the smaller hose. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully someone out there has a scrap car/motor there selling parts from would have it. I also tried several of the junkyards and they sell the PCV system with their motors so that didn't help me any.

From my understanding from the GM dealer in 99 they changed the PCV setup. 99-03 are all the same Corvette,Camaro,Firebird.

I don't understand why such a rig to adapt a new PCV valve that has a .100 hole in it.
Why not just take a 3/8" bolt with the head and threads cut off and a .100 hole drilled in the center of it and sliding that inside the 3/8" hose?
