Where can i get this part?

[jeffputts]

Hey guys im almost done putting my engine back together after replacing the head gaskets. In the process of taking everything apart though, There are some rubber hoses and a plastic piece that broke on my Upper intake. I cant seem to find them to buy anywheres either. I have posted a picture of exactly what it is. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

oh man, that isnt good. Go check your local ford dealership on that one. Its a mighty long, plastic hose/line

you can buy all of that stuff cheap at your local autoparts store...dont worry. Just get it to fit in the same fashion and you are fine.

What he said....I replaced all that stuff for like 12.00...just bring your hoses with you and get whatever lenghts of each needed...no biggie...if its breaking then its time to replace it all anyway....Napa/Autozone/Pepboys any of em will be able to cover you...

Thanks for the quick responses guys. Im gonna bring that whole contraption to the auto store

well i went to my local autozone and advance auto, neither of these places had the hoses/plastic pieces that go with them. They also didnt have the EGR gasket(what does the EGR do btw) nor the thin plastic gasket that goes on the throttle body

try going to NAPA, pep boys, im pretty sure you don't have to goto ford, for those rubber attachment's.

The gasket's on the other hand, I can't comment. But then again, their only gasket's, it be really weird if you can't find them.

Or Baxters, if you have one close buy. The one local to me has all kinds of vacuum hose & fittings. In a pinch you could plug one of the intake holes and run just one vacuum hose directly to the PCV (that's what I had to do, because of clearance problems with my valve covers).

For the intake hoses you just go the auto parts stores and buy the hose by the foot with the right inside diameter. They have it. They probably thought you wanted some particular piece just for your car. You kinda have to make this hose yourself. They should also have the plastic fittings for them (if you need them). They are usually on the same island as the PCV valves. I dont know why they wouldnt have the gaskets. Thats odd. Autoparts stores usually have just about every gasket you need.

The EGR recycles gas fumes from your headers back into the intake to be reburnt. Its not a critical system to the running of your car. Its there more for pollution control laws.
