Will this work? Size wise? I've only got the 5/8" diameter hose. When I did my coolant filter/Rotella ELC job, I intended to check the size and shape of the heater hoses and replace it with the blue silicone hose if it worked....I completely forgot until after I was done. Are there any major bends to be concerned with?

3/4" heater hose. The oil vapor will eventually eat it up, but that will be a long time from now, and since it's cheap and easily replacable, that's what I used. I used 3/4 because that's what the OEM size of the existing CCV scavanging tube is.

one thing i do notice, is that the smell of the oil is bad, when you out running, and stop, and the exhaust just smells like that stinky oil. i have it routed in my exhaust. it smells like, well burning oil.
