I need to buy new vent hoses but haven't had any luck im looking for oem ones but my buddy told me I could get some aftermarket not sure the benefit but if you know where to buy either let me know thanks

Get some hose at your local parts store that is oil safe, and since it goes right over the exhaust mani, check what types of temps it can withhold. the hose it self sees very minimal pressure and some oil vapors

I did that but now the problem is the hose wont stay in the valve cover I think I might be missing a piece or something

Dude, get 4-ply silicone 5/8" hose. It's usually rated at 500+*F ... I use that and have it wrapped in that heat-tape from O'Reilly... not that it is needed, but I like overkill lol.

The only piece I can think of that you'd be missing is a hose clamp

I dont see how you would clamp it the, the hose claps to a little metal elbow thing then the metal piece goes into the valve cover but nothing holds it in it just slips right back out

I'm really not following what you are saying. Anywhere a hose slides over a metal fitting, you can put a clamp.

You see where in that pic where it comes to a T and then into the valve cover, what holds that T in the valve cover?

The T in the valve cover is an interference fit. It should be pressed in and stay in. If not, pull the T out, clean the port the T slides in, and the T piece extremely well with acetone. Mix some JB weld up and coat the outside of the T piece lightly. Slide into the hole and hold it there until the JB weld sets up. Then continue on with your day.

OH okay... I thought you were talking about the hoses themselves, not the T-fitting. Sorry 'bout that

As jr_ss stated, it just presses in. If it is popping out on you, then you either do not have it pressed in fully (tap lightly in with rubber mallet) or you need to do as he described.
