Would this kink cause issues? PCV job

Post by 1998s70GLT »

Running a 5/8” gates fuel line to my PCV oil trap box and I have this kink.

How big of a deal would this cause in regards to maybe tearing this hose as time goes on? I don’t think this hose will flex much, so I believe I’ll be fine— it shouldn’t tear.

Thoughts?

When you put the manifold on it will push the hose further down and make that much worse, if not close it off. That's the purpose of the spring.
