PVC valve?
What does this hose attach to?
2
Hello there,
First post here so I hope you won't judge me by this question :facepalm:. Things have been going very well up to this point. Anyway, I am almost done a head gasket r&r on my 86 pickup with a 22r. It has been a most excellent adventure with some serious learning moments along the way. I am right at the end and have run into a strange problem (it could be the fumes, i dunno). My last step before putting the air filter assembly back on and fill 'er up with oil and coolant is to attach this hose

.
It comes out of the intake manifold
![]()
and has an i.d. of about 1" so I thought it would be obvious where it should go, but I just can't see it! :headbang:
Can't find it in my manual or anywhere I search online. From what I have found I am thinking it might be the water bypass hose, but am really guessing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys
Thanks for the suggestions. It does look remarkably similar to the pcv valve hose. Sadly that is not what where this hose goes. I failed to mention in my first post that this hose originates on the underside of the intake manifold. I tried to paint in a yellow arrow pointing at the port I know the one end of the hose goes to.

I still can't locate where the other end goes. I am beginning to fear insanity :ugh3:, or that I somehow overlooked a part on the rebuild. The only other piece of info that I can think to include is that it appears and smells like a coolant hose.
Thanks again for any suggestions.
