January 25, 201510 yr comment_462455 Haz, That looks like hose you get at Home Depot. It is made for water. Oil blow-by will deteriorate it in short order. It looks good now, but won't once you get up and running. You will need to get an oil rated hose. Not as nice to look at, but will last longer. Also heat will make it get all saggy. Tried it on a boat once when I lived aboard...didn't work. Had to buy the more expensive petroleum rated hose. Love the project. Want to see it in person. Send me a pm.

January 26, 201510 yr comment_462468 try to seal the pcv system. The filter on the catch can will mist oil all over that beautiful engine compartment. fyi car show guys put window screen in front of radiator to keep bugs and road debris out of rad and engine.

Cheers, Mike Yes that looks like regular air hose. Not suitable for heat and oil.
