Most any hose will be fine, it just vents crankcase gases with a tiny bit of oil.

Actually the gasses are too hot for the poly tubing (the clear stuff, right?). There has been a little discussion on this. They will leach fumes and contaminate the system slightly ( not that big a deal, really, but I don't want to take chances.) since they aren't rated for high temp. useage. Although I would like clear tubing so I could see what's all going on in there, I haven't found a clear high temp tube yet in the size we need. I used good old black high pressure line that can be had at any autoparts store.

I believe that dustyloins has had clear tubing on his from day one of his OCC and megaman has clear hose on his.

They tried to get me with that $24.00 pre packaged stuff, too. HA!!!! Good call on the oil line.

Hey Dusty/megaman, you out there? What kind of tubing did you go with? I couldn't find clear high temp anywhere.

That stuff - while it can hold the pressure no problem, isn't made to withstand heat. You are (like I said, whether it matters or not) slowly leeching poly fumes into your system. The stuff does degrade at temp. If there was a high temp clear tubing, I would use this, but other than REAL expensive acrylic stuff, I haven't found it.
