WTB: PCV piping system

Mine is broken right at the ninety, so I have to get the entire stupid thing, unless someone else has an idea on how I can rig up something. I don't want to delete it either.

Breathers in the valve covers. Be done with that garbage getting back into the intake. Watch the oil color, and never look back.

**** all that. makes you car smell like gas. those breathers are puting out air with gas fumes. thus the reason you have a pcv system, gets that stuff out of the bottom of your motor.

Simple solution. go buy 6 feet of 3/8 fuel line(this is way to much but the crap is cheap) buy one inline pcv valve and one pcv valve that fits in that back drivers side valve cover. also buy a 3/8 "T". These are with vacum hose accesories. you can now rebuild that entire piece. by the way that is 180 dollar part from the dealer. Previous poster is correct about issues with pcv system just put a catch can in. problem solved. all of that stuff minus the catch can is less than 15 and can be bought from autozone.

You will also need a few hose clamps. I think like 5 or 6.

I did the same thing as the previous two posters mentioned. Here are some pictures if you would like to see them:

It's from my 98, but should be pretty similar. It's pretty simple to piece together.

Depending on whether your piece that for the PCV is damaged, you may want to buy a new PCV that has two ends for a hose.
