The line coming from the valve cover and the first part of the line leaving the can is the tubing that came with. The bigger piece that goes back to the intake is a bit of tubing from my local "Ace Hardware" as well as the fittings I used to make it all work. I believe the tubing with the kit is 3/8 as the bigger piece is 5/8 with 3/8 ID.
The piece from the valve cover is whatever diameter the hockey puck grommet is (i cant remember right now) threaded to 3/8 barbed elbow. Then the piece back to the intake, using a piece of the original hose is 5/8 barbed to 3/4 threaded elbow I believe.
Have used it for a full week with my normal daily work grind, which includes about ten minutes of surface streets and 15 min at either highway speed, or stop and go traffic, and no issues. No leaks and no new oil anywhere else.
Again, good recommendation.

I was at my hardware store for about an hour today and I came up empty handed..
I have the AHU, and it has 7/8" for its CCV puck and the fitting back on the intake tube too..
Running 7/8" tube is pretty ridiculous.. specially when i will need like 3 feet of it running around. What to do?!

Downsize at the puck to 5/8 inch and adapt as needed on either ends. Should not be a volume or velocity problem with smaller diameter.

So I'd need a tube to fit the puck and adapter.. down to another size tube to the can, from the can to another adapter and then from the adapter to the intake?
Sounds like it will be pretty fugly. I had this idea, but it was gonna be ugly as hell.

It's damn hard to make that stuff not-ugly, don't feel bad.
I have a hose that's shaved down, was heated, inserted INTO the
fitting on my puck, then oil rated adhesive sealant holding it form the outside.
Hard to find oil rated hose in the right sizes too.
I keep threatening to pipe it in EMT or such.

Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become ignorant.
