Oil breather hose

[Jonny1*2]

I'm looking to run a breather hose down to the floor instead of the usual setup (going to run it towards the coolant reseviour and down to the lower engine cover. v6 box is going on with a 45 deg bend. Will the heat from the exhaust cause issues here? Any other ideas are welcome.

This is what I was looking at. Is this stuff the correct bore size?

To big for the breather at the back, its only about 13/15mm iirc

yeah I posted the wrong size ben . Presuming the size quoted is the bore and not the whole tube diametre. think it's 16mm bore from memory.

Its 14mm the breather "nipple".

Im pretty sure the 16mm ID means internal diameter???

thought the internal was 16mm?

Jonny, just twist the orgnial hose downwards, I have had mine like that for quite a while and its not made a mess or anything. Save you buying any more hoses.

twist is down towards the mani? will this not drip and burn?

well I have twisted so its inbetween the mani and air box. There really isnt too much oil that comes out. But obviously check your oil regulary.

ah ok, might give it a go. I might get some cheap hose then, use the plastic bend that goes into the tb hose and extend it down. Want to keep the engine bay nice and clean. I'm removing the battery so will do that first and see how it all looks in there.
