I was trying to bypass my rear BCS when...
What is this? It seems like it ran from the rocker cover to throttle body, is it needed or urgent? I'm too scared to start the car now..

One way valve. Just tape off both ends until you get a replacement
one way valve. quite expensive from Holden, have a peak at ebay.
I did this the other day, I just joined them together again and let it be, it's still fine.
Superglue it even
Cheers. I have both ends taped off for now as advised and it runs fine. It actually goes a whole lot better since my rear BCS bypass.Quote:

any automotive non return valve will do. have a look at this company and just sent them a message.

Ours would be the 6 mm wouldn't it? I might order a 6mm one.Quote:

As I already have an oil breather on my crank case I figured it's already breathing and not breathing oily/hot air back into my throttle body now through this other smaller pipe?
I just ordered one from Holden for $25.00 but it will take 3 or 4 days from VIC to get here.
Until then I have taped my existing one off on both ends, this should be ok yeah? I do have another external breather pod running off of the rocker cover as well where it used to plumb back to the air filter.
