Default Re: Crankcase Vent Cover Tube Loose

(The hoses are original and very hard. New ones on order from Jerry's)


The tube wasn't damaged. There was a sealant or adhesive around the tube portion that fits in to the cover. I've totally cleaned it up plus any that was in the bore on the cover.


Question: What sealant or adhesive should I use when I reseat the tube in the vent cover?

I would, after through clean and degreasing maybe even scuff lightly with 400 grit sandpaper, someone may object but, use epoxy or JB weld myself.
