spiderw31 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 When inspecting the timing belt on my 3.4, I managed to break the vacuum elbow that is directly above the timing belt cover on the front head. I've looked all over for a replacement and nobaody seems to make them that big. Any ideas as to where I could locate one, or perhaps a GM part number? Quote
ManicMechanic Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 That's for your PCV system, I believe. I'll look up the p/n in a bit. Quote
spiderw31 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 That's for your PCV system, I believe. Thats what I thought, but no one seems to have it locally, nor was I able to find it through GM parts direct Quote
ManicMechanic Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Might have to head for a junkyard. The parts book is showing just the entire hose from the PCV valve to each valve cover... You might get lucky and find one in the HELP! section of an auto parts store. Quote
spiderw31 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Unfortunately the help section doesn't have elbows that size... maybe i can find something at home depot that would work. Quote
5speedz34 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Are you talking about the elbow that goes from the harder plastic pipe into the front valve cover? How did you break that they should be pretty flexible (able to be squeezed by hand). HELP! section is your best bet, or a junkyard. A dealer is going to want to sell you the whole assembly for the PCV system. I replaced the one on my '94. It's slightly different. About $27 from the dealer. Not to bad, since it came with basically most of the vacuum lines for the 94-95 cars. 91-93 cars are much more complex in regards to vacuum routing. Quote
spiderw31 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Posted January 31, 2008 Yes, that is the elbow I'm talking about. It definately isn't soft any more though . It is hard and brittle and it split open and cracked in half when I oh so gently removed it. Not having much luck with the help catalog either Quote
ZXXXIV Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I've used an Accell 8.8mm 90 degree spark plug boot. Works perfect. If you want one let me know. I think I have some extra. Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Dude, this part cannot be that hard to find a replacement for. Quote
spiderw31 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 Dude, this part cannot be that hard to find a replacement for. Unfortunately it is, but that spark plug boot is a good idea... I'll have to dig one up. Quote
