Generic alternative for breather hose?
11/01/19 at 08:56:27
My breather hose cracked while trying to get the baked end back over the head cap nipple. Is there an acceptable part widely available, say, at a national chain? Meanwhile, I'll try to cut it shorter, refit...

That tubing isn't anything special.
I replaced it with silicone tubing.

I think mine is 3/8" rubber heater hose from the autoparts store

I wouldn't cut it to much shorter , it needs to be arched to allow the oil droplets to run back into the motor, it might even help to make it slightly longer if you can.

Thanks, all. After visiting several places with growing frustration, I spliced in a section of anodized aluminum tubing.
