I wonder if the problem some of you may be having may be related to left over dried "thread locker/sealant" in the threads of the hole that are left over from removing the plug? Perhaps excess goop squished behind the plug during assembly. I noticed quite a bit of goop on the threads of my plug. If there is left over and it's compressing behind the mishi plastic fitting causing you guys to break them before they can seal?

When I put mine in today, I just lifted (forced) the CCv tube(s) up high enough to clear the angled part of the fitting at each turn in. The sealing washer of the fitting was flush with the valve cover, and I slowly kept turning it until it pointed to the front. Guess I'm lucky... Unless it was supposed to point toward the rear?

So, I called mishimoto and explained what happened and told them I was pretty irritated about this, they are sending me a new PCV adapter. I asked for the piece to remove the CCV tubing out of my way and they said they couldn't provide this part.

Has anyone removed the ccv tubing out of the way just wondering if it makes it easier? Would be great if it doesn't happen again!!

Unfortunately the pick tools are only included with the full kit or the CCV side kit (if you ordered either and didn't receive the tools definitely let me know and I'll make sure we get them to you). So, GM used a quick disconnect on those fittings, but designed them that you have to break them to in order to take the hoses off. If you check out our install video, at about the 3:10 mark, our in house tech shows his technique on lifting the CCV hose out of the way.

We'd rather you not have to break these tabs and have to replace them to install the catch can.

Hope this helps!

So the PCV fitting can point in either direction. We packaged the one hose section in two different pieces with the straight adapter so you can adjust it to fit. If you're having any more trouble, check out the install video I linked above.


Thanks!
