Help figuring out what this tube goes to.. Oil catch can? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

FIRST OFF, i pulled my engine about 6 months ago because i had a compression loss which resulted in a chip in my 4th piston so i had a full rebuilt/ inspection. Forged CP pistons and slight upgraded internals with name brand parts, the rest is OEM. Now im slowly but surely putting everything back to where it went originally as clean and healthy as possible. This is one of my last questions involving connections. I figured out my SS turbo lines the other day, and now im just wondering about this tube that IDK if it went to anything... I never had a oil catch can before, maybe i should get one? \/

So i know what the T goes to on the valve cover.. the _| goes to the intake, and the L goes down to that golden tube. I figured this because there is a hose that already fits the shape perfectly. What does the circled one go to???

Thaaaaanks!!!

Apparently you can't read or lack comprehension skills, as I told you what that line was in your other post. The one to the left of the one you have circled in that picture is your block vent, that should be tied into your catch can.

Haha man I'm still learnin but thanks for helping. I'm trying to know what the circled one is used for. And I don't have a catch can yet I'll get one though

It's a coolant line, most likely for your heater hose...

SilviaT · 09-15-2012, 02:02 PM

Hell yeah thanks. My heater never worked so that answers that!

Because you clearly need someone to show you some things.

I think I got the answers to my questions but I appreciate it. Once I can drive to my buddy's place I'll take care of all the small stuff

Alright, well if you're close to Salem, let me know.

I am happy to look at things so you can stop making dumb threads
