Greg-S Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I need a the crank case breather tube for an L18 ( the one with the 90 degree bend) so I can finish up the engine swap on my kids truck so he can start driving it. I have had no luck locally at wrecking yards. Can anyone help me out? Greg Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 What I did was I took a coolant hose that NAPA had(I don't have the part number on me, but I know they carry em), that had a larger end, a 90-elbow and a narrower end(that went on the PCV). I don't have the exact dimensions, but if you're handy w/ a tape-measure, it'd take you about 2 seconds. I secured both ends w/ hose clamps, and it cost about $9 all together. Sorry I don't have the part number handy, but you CAN make it work without the factory part, I guess is all I'm sayin'. Easily too. Good luck. Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I need a the crank case breather tube for an L18 ( the one with the 90 degree bend) ... I believe the L16/L18 tube comes straight out the side of the block without any bends in it. The L20B tube comes up out of the vent bends 90 to the rear and then curves around to the rubber hose connection.

Greg-S Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) It is a L18 for sure and the hole in block faces straight up just like the L20b pic. I wish it came out the side then i could have just used my L16 one. Thanks for the pics though. It always makes thing easier. I got a private message from Tdaaj that he has one so hopefully I can finally get this thing on the road. Edited October 7, 2009 by Greg-S Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Maybe just cut the bend out and turn the L20B one so it sticks straight out? Link to comment
tdaaj Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 i've already got one out on the way to him Link to comment
