Oil catch can question.
#16
Well, I went out to install the catch can and I can't seem to get the short pieces of hose on the intake port and valve cover port. I can't get the hose over the ridge's on the ports. I feel like I'm going to break something if I push too hard. I even sprayed lube inside the hose and that didn't seem to work. It was getting dark so I quit for now. I put everything back together for now. I may try buying another stock hose set- up and cutting it so I can use the click on ends. I don't want to cut mine up yet.

Lube up the barbs on the plastic connectors. I used WD-40 silicone spray, and they slid right on. Putting lube on the tubing tends to not get lube right at the end where it is needed. The tubes will be a tight fit because they need to stay in place with no clamps or ties. When pushing the tubing on, rotate the connector back and forth a little. Once it gets started it will go right on. UPR has been selling these tubes with their kits and they install correctly with no issues. They WILL work so just figure it out with what UPR gave you.
Does anyone know where I can just buy the factory Ford ends that snap onto this ports? I don't want to cut up my original piece in case I need it for some reason. Thanks.

I ordered two factory Ford snap on connectors for the valve cover and intake ports so I can just hook the hose to these. I may have to go with smaller hose but It seems like I will anyway since the supplied inner hose diameter is too big for the ports.
