    Default urgent PCV help

    cars an LS1, the PCV hose completely broke through at the back and a small crack in the rubber hose at the PCV valve. i need to just dodgey something up so i can get it to the mechanics.

    Can i block off the intake manifold inlet then run a 3/8' hose from one rocker cover to the other?

    Considering most of time they crack and nobody notices...you'll be fine.

    duct tape
    electrical tape
    sticky tape
    masking tape
    packaging tape

    name a tape and tape it up... although you might struggle with plumbers tape
    ive used it on a radiator hose in an emergency and so i wouldnt see it being a problem as long as you pull the hose off and start the tape well about the crack go past it making sure it overlaps by about half and then go a fair way past it and then back up... as long as your overlap it well enough you should be sweet
    electrical tape would be your best bet
