FWIW, I have made drawings for the PCV valve hoses, lower & upper, to obtain quotes for manufacture in Buna-N (stock) and Viton (black), in exact stock replacement configuration. I have sent it for quotation to the vendor who made the dipstick seals, but they declined to quote. I am preparing to send it out for quote to other prospective vendors.

I think the more choices more better for us, our ZR-1's and future buyers of the ZR-1's.

Viton has a higher temp rating than Buna-N and has approximately the same chemical tolorance as Buna-N. I've seen several of the "F-hoses" that were rotton-soft on the engine side and still good (a little hard) on the firewall side. I think that it's due to heat. If I can get the hose in black Viton at a comperable cost, then that's what I will do. Making it identical in appearance to the OEM part is a top priority.

Very possible in silicon, I might be able to put together an enitre kit for $140-$150...this would include all PCVs, Breathers, radiator, etc....

Lee,
I will give my input here. If you have the interest to have re-manufactured, look into manufacturing and quoting these parts as neither myself or anyone we know of is doing these reman. These will be needed very shortly, esp since our NOS stock is almost exhausted.
There really is no need to manufacture the PCV Hose out of silicone, it's already been done, the PCV Baffle hoses in silicone are also done, We have these on our website now: You can make the PCV Hose out of rubber if needed i guess, but it goes back to use our limited resources to manufacture items that haven't been manufactured, unless your intentions are to find lower prices. Your cam cover emblems venture is excellent and once you get the emblem closer to stock apperance, you'll have a winner. In fact, i'll buy 50 sets from you once you get them sorted. |

The SAMCO hoses serve a purpose in a pinch, but I just can't get past their large script/logo advertising plastered all over the hoses. They have the right, it's their product. I bought a set of black SAMCO hoses to add to my spare parts stock pile, but have been fortunate enough to not have to use any of them.
I would buy and use plain black hoses if they were available. Add me to the list of prospective buyers.

Yeap,keeping the prices down sounds like a good thing,also.
Heck $20 for dipstick seals coming on who are we kidding. I found a non OE piece that costs .50 cents and available at local parts stores works just fine. Secondaries we don't need no stinking secondaries. ![]() Pete

I'd be in for a set of plain black...i want every replacement hose the LT5 could ever need. I have none and the car is getting old. Plus I want to do injectors soon and would like to just replace everything under there while I do it. Make it new again...kinda.
