There shouldnt be oil or gas in them. If you pcv system is good and/or you have a catch can you dont have anything to worry about

 

I have oil in the vacuum system.It was everywhere when I wascleaning things outthe other day.I think I have a bad pcv. Seems it's a royal PITA to get to though. I'm going to have to take off the entire intake manifold to get to it I think!

 

The manifold isnt that had to remove, ellite with tell ya.

 

Ya it doesn't seem that hard. Take off TB. Take off vacuum lines to manifold. Undo fuel line.Undo bolts connectingto valve cover. And it's off.
Is it that simple?

 

back onto the whole hose thing.... wheres the best place to find clips to hold the hoses in place? home depot or somethin?

 

you can get a little pack at HD. You can also just use cable ties.

 

Silicone is supposed to be much softer than rubber so apparently the typical screw clamps can damage the hose. I saw it recommended to get some that have a smooth surface with which to clamp so I t doesn't damage the hose. Could be all myth though.

 

The vac lines, if the correct size is used, you dont really need to use the ties/clamps. Plus if your tightening the clamp that tight, you've gone overboard

 

when I bought my boost machine, the silicone hoses it came with were tight enough that they didnt need clamps. you can find the website to the hoses on the modshack website.

 

I just use zipties. -shrugs-

maybe I'm just ghetto though. I have metal hose clamps, but if one of THOSE comes off... it'll damage alot more than a ziptie would. lol
