What is this?
So, after some encouragement from Uly (thanks!!
 I needed that), I decided to dive into a plenum pull/injector replacement myself tonight - instead of paying a few guys to help out.The plenum is off, new wires are on, new injectors are in the rail and I'm ready to start buttoning it back up... then I see this horrendous-looking thing runing from one bank to the other under where the rear of the plenum should go: http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...1/IMG_1705.jpg. I have no idea how I didn't notice the condition of the hose during the removal - it's nearly cracked in half at three places! I an 98% sure that this is the PCV hose and valves, but before I go off and order a new ones, I thought I'd make sure that I am asking for the right parts and see if anyone knows of a more economical solution than ordering from Kurt White? I'll call the local Autozone, Checkers, NAPA, etc. tomorrow, but I'm not optimistic that I'll find what I need local. Thanks!! |

LOL, damn somebody really did a shade tree fix on that.
it's the PCV hose. You can only get it from Kurt. http://www.whiteracingproducts.com/i...oducts_id=1012 |

Re: What is this?
Jeff,
That "somebody" would be Corvette Connection here in the Denver area... obviously not a "preferred" LT5 service location.Thanks for verifying the sole source for the part. Damn expensive hose... and it was all going so smoothly until I saw that!! Scott |

Re: What is this?
The zip tie wasn't really a problem. But the two large cracks in the hose are. Probably not helping your emissions.

Re: What is this?
"didn't even use a black zip-tie to try & hide
" ... very funny. I agree that black would have been MUCH BETTER. I forgot to rant about the zip tie and how the whole monstrocity basically fell apart when I touched it! It not only looks terrible, it doesn't even hold it together good!!

Re: What is this?
Man, that's just plain ole ugly! It hurts just to look at it.
That piece of hose has to be in the top 3 most expensive rubber parts on a Z!

Re: What is this?
Actually the aftermarket part is better thent he OEM at $250
PCV valves are not too bad at $14 but are those LT5 specific or will others form the local parts place work?

Re: What is this?
Hey when I did my plenum pull, I noticed the inj housing bolts were all pretty loose. Check them & the breather box bolts. My breather box bolts were finger tight!!
