that tube that doesnt require a gasket, what is it for? I had gotten a B13 Vc but that tube was lil broken. Is it needed?Wufaded said:No, its not supposed to have a gasket....you didn't break anything, damn that gasket you replaced looks way better than the one I had on my VC. Mine was all wrinkly and withered. Looks like I have an extra part to replace when I do my next oil change![]()
The tube works with the PCV system....it captures blowby gases in the engine and returns them to the manifold to be part of the air/fuel mixture. If the tube is slightly damaged, but air flow is not blocked or restricted, you should be able to use the VC.off_da_meter said:that tube that doesnt require a gasket, what is it for?

Thats where I had gotten it from for like 10 bucks, but that was the only thing that I saw that was wrong with it besides being full of oil. So without it I shall be find when I go to install it? I already got the new PCV, new orings, new oil cap and new headgasket for it.Wufaded said:The tube works with the PCV system....it captures blowby gases in the engine and returns them to the manifold to be part of the air/fuel mixture.

If you have any doubts just get another B13 VC....they are like $13 at my local junkyard...
