I did the same thing to extend my AOS breather hose. I used thick walked vacuum tubing placed inside the AOS tubing for a few inches and then wrapped it in 4 layers of high temp electrical tape. Worked like a charm.

Look at post 162#
It shows that I did the same thing to the hose that goes from the AOS to the intake. Same principle.

Do you mean the red outlined hose below?
It doesn't look like you have any clamps. (Does it work w/o the clamps because of the suction inside the tube?)

Thanks Stl-986. This will be my plan C.

Hi ike84,

Inside the AOS tubing and high temp electrical tape? Wow. That's gonna be my plan B.2
BTW, what is the function of breather hose? Is it returning 'air' back to crankcase/engine?

Farm engineering at its finest

The AOS acts as a filter. The breather hose connects to the intake manifold and provides the suction necessary for the AOS to function. The AOS distributes that vacuum to the two halves of the crank case to evacuate windage, fumes thrpugh the filter and into the intake, and the oil collects at the filter and drops back to the crankcase.

It's done, I think.

After spending all afternoon and missing dinner, and trips to Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, and Homedepot, and two 1 1/4 hose clamps, and a bucket of sweat, it's done, I think - The oil cap now comes off. :dance:

Thank you, to Stl-986, elgyqc, itsnotanova, Gilles and ike84. If you guys are ever in NYC or upper NJ, send me a message. Lunch is on me.
