maybe one day this piece will be eliminated completely, but right now i am just doing the long overdue CCV mod and keeping the aluminum pipe. any common things to plug that little pipe with or do i just need to scrounge something. anyone know what size the little port is? 3/4" like the cap on the valve cover?

 

hell i just turned the thing that was already in there around and rtv siliconed a bolt in the end of it... i actually cut the piec to get it to the straight part... and then i siliconed a bolt in there.. then i let it dry and siliconed the piece back into the aluminum piece...

 

It's not pretty, but you can just use a short piece of hose with a plug in it. Or clean it, tape it off, and fill it with JB Weld or other epoxy.

 

I took a small piece of thin aluminum, cut it to shape, drilled a hole for the screw, used grey ATV and viola, sealed!!!

I removed it completly and stuck some left over 4" aluminum pipe in there.

 

i just finished my ccv mod. i found a washer that fit perfectly, which was a bit bigger than the whole. i used epoxy to fasten it to the tube and the washer only had a little whole which i filled with epoxy. then spread rtv around the washer to make sure it was sealed. i was gonnna post a pic but my camera phone wolnt work :/

 

X 2, I made exactly the same.

 

I scrounged up a little rubber plug but I was thinking about a wine cork and maybe a piece of hose and a hose clamp-then at least you could have a beverage while you work (you don't want to do an immediate test drive after this mod.)

 

I did the same works good!

 

hey to each his own, but i have no interest in drinking wine while i turn wrenches on my truck lol

 

I agree, it just doesn't work. Now I prefer something in a red can, for stability reasons of course.

 

i've never seen a coozie (whatever you call those insulating sleeves that help keep my tasty beverages cold) big enough to fit a bottle of wine.
