I have a small hose clamp that I was using since it happened which is as tight as I make it, but was just seeing if it were normal to be so loose?

They are loose. I can pull mine off without much force Edited 31/01/12 11:49 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78747-loose-hose/#findComment-1189020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tightening needed you just pull in to release and let go to tighten. Just thought it was a bit odd and that I may have done something to make it so loose but it's how it was I guess.

The black hose is for blowby and not pressurized. As long is its stuck there and doesn't fall out easily it's fine.

Doesn't need replacing unless its weaping oil and snot. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78747-loose-hose/#findComment-1189063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
