Valve Cover filter hose
Thursday, December 02, 2010 5:07 PM
on the Ecotec...
What is the hose going from the intake piping before the throttle body to the valve cover?
Can you cap off the valve cover? or put a small filter on the spout coming off it and cap the other end???
Does the valve cover need to breathe????

yes it needs to breathe, and its a recirc, just burns the vapors and fumes and any oil that comes out of it. just leave it as is, not hurting anything.

yes you can, but no gain will happen, and odds are at high rpm, you will blow oil out of it and it will make a mess.

You can add a Stainless Steel braided sleeve kit to dress it up a bit. It makes it look a little better in my opinion.


Save your money. It might be worth something someday.

You could also use a silicon hose if you want. The necessary footage from any place that sells the stuff wouldn't be too pricey.

You have to be careful about putting a breather on it. In some states that have emissions testing that is illegal.
