Crank Case Re Route

Just curious on to what everyone has done to plug the hole on the intake.I got some heater hose today to route the case.Someone told me a boat plug but I have no access to that right at the moment.

I just used a threaded PVC plug. 3/4" I think it was. Put a little silicone on it, slid it in, and was actually a snug fit. Put a hose clamp around the outside just for extra measure. Been like that for almost a year and still issue free. Might be a tad redneck ish but who cares! No one will ever see it, it works, and cost like $2 in supplies.

What kind of fitting would you use on the valve cover? I know a 90* but what type of fitting will fit the hole?

Pretty much have to use the factory fitting since it has a O ring on it,plus is doesn't have threads.

I guess once you take it out of the intake you could slide the hose over it w a hose clamp then route to your catch can or the atmosphere if you so choose.

Yep. Just cut the clamps and pull the small length of hose off. Then reuse the elbow that is already there.
