ducky Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 While not necessarily related, I'm looking to replace the old PCV hose on my truck. It's seen its better days, but I'm having a real tough time finding a substitution. It appears the pipe from the engine is 13/16" or .85". The PCV valve is good enough to use a 5/8" ID. I seems Nissan used a weird over-large hose end on one side with an orange sleeve to bring it down a bit instead of just make the pipe a 5/8" and call it a day... Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment

Correct, very different sizes at each end. I have a box of various good USED Datsun PCV hoses etc, but I am only familiar with the 510 L16 & the L20B hoses, which I have. PM me if interested!

TJ i actually saw your ebay post when looking. it didnt look too different than mine. I ended up ordering a Gates EMH196 (13/16" to 11/16") and a 3/4" to 5/8" barb coupler and am going to try and make a new hose with a portion of that and some 5/8" fuel hose. I'll let you guys know. 2 Quote Link to comment

He is putting in a v-8 A Renault 14 heater valve will work for 620 as long as you do an arm throw mod which is easy https://recambiosberengeno.com/radiadores/15439-grifo-calefaccion-renault-r12-r14.html I have maybe found another interesting one, both for 620 and 510 (to be confirmed though): https://suzukipartsusa.com/shop/interior-parts/dash-glovebox-heat/heater-valve-radiator-line-to-heater-oem-sgp-suzuki-samurai-86-95-atlga/ Quote Link to comment

The trick would be to pull a USED one out of that Suzuki application (USA spec??) in a junkyard & see if the internals are the same! 😎 Quote Link to comment

Ok, so I'll try to install this on the truck tomorrow, but I think it'll work. It's really close. Edited March 24, 2023 by ducky 2 Quote Link to comment

On my Honda Civic, I have used a Datsun 1200 valve. I didn't open it for the plunger rod. I cut the mechanism and put the Honda one on it. It worked well. I've seen somewhere it is possible to change the o-rings on the plunger rod, so I think I'll try this first. The only problem is to bend the little brass parts. I'm not sure I'll be able to do it correctly. But as someone wrote, the valve is already dead, what is the risk? To kill it again? 😆 Quote Link to comment
