Title: Crankcase Ventilation Hose - Universal 35B Engine
Post by: Stewartn on June 03, 2010, 06:09:12 AM
Just noticed that after some major engine work last year, the crankcase ventilation hose was not reinstalled. That is the hose from the top of the valve cover with open end next to foam sleeve on air cleaner. Would like to to replace now to control odor, etc. Called Hansen Marine, regional Universal distributor. They do do not stock this part. Any suggestions on what hose to buy and bend appropriately.  I have read about going to a KN filter, etc., but not now. Thx to all.

That hose is under no pressure.  I recently replaced mine with some water hose, it's 1/2.

See    http://c34.org/bbs/index.php?topic=5650.0 (http://c34.org/bbs/index.php?topic=5650.0)   It worked great for me.  BTW  I purchased crankcase vent hose from an auto parts store, but be carefull a lot of places will try to sell what they have on hand, water
heater hose or fuel hose.  It may work but the vent hose is better for its intended purpose.
