I need to replace the large hose from the valve cover (by the fill cap) that goes under the alt to the block.
Can I make a hose? What size is it?
Same with the valve cover (looks like a PCV without the valve) breather hoses (one on each valve cover) what size?

pull the old one off and hit the formed hose isle in your local parts store...

it might not function as long since it's more than likely not going to be as resistant to oil as the stock pieces...

haha weird i literally just bought one today, less than 4 hours ago. $41.50 from my Toyota dealer with tax and shipping included. ships in 2 days or so, but i'd get it from the dealer rather than fabricating cuz like the rest of em said, it's a pre-formed hose. the breather hoses look pretty easy... about 1/8" probably? maybe smaller, don't quote me on that.

A 3/4" hose works for the oil breather, don't know how long it will last as it its tight but did slip on with silicone spray.

1/2" hose works for the PCV or what ever its called.

i bought a hose from autozone to replace the hose by the filler cap but then had to get that hose from the dealer. because the autozone hose didnt fit right and would fold close. GET IT FROM THE DEALER.,its worth is and its the last time youre have to change it. its high quality from the factory.
