I've just received my Cusco Oil Catch Can, in the instructions it says that the only hose I need to connect is between the where the breather hose connects to the engine block, then I should place a plug in the breather hose. Isn't there suppose to be an additional hose running from the Oil Catch Can to the PCV? If so where can i get one of these hoses, I was only supplied with 1.

 

You should run the hose from the PCV to the catch can.
Then either run a hose from the catch can to the intake manifold or
cap the intake manifold.

 

So basically the catch can replaces the PCV hose? So I connect the two hoses to the points shown below:


I need another (clear) hose, are these available from the local hardware store?

TIA

Edit: Yep did a search and looks like thats right, just wondering now can I get these hoses from the hardware store? And do I really need the hose clamps?

right. the can goes in between those two points.

 

i didnt reuse the hose clamps on my PCV valve.....it was nearly impossible for me to get a tool or hand under there to squeeze it hard enough and maneuver it over the fittings.....i havent had any problems and there is no vaccum leaks, i also havent had clamps for over a year on my breather hose from the valve cover to the intake.
