HELP! CCV Breather Box Elbow Broken! PLEASE!
 
So I was installing an Injen CAI and I broke the piece that connects to the motor! How screwed am I? Here's pictures I took of the piece and where it broke!

I broke the part where it connects to the motor! Am I totally SOL and have to bring it to shop? Or is this something I can fix without totally ripping apart everything? PLEASE HELP!

If images go bad - please let me know, I'll repost.

I would think that you can pull the piece inside the pipe you are holding and epoxy it to the part left on the motor. Let epoxy dry 24 hours then use lubrican on both pieces before you snap them back together. Hope that helps otherwise I think you would have to remove the valve cover as that is where I believe it fits.

I actually found a post in a different area on the forum of someone with the same problem! They used super glue to reattach it.

I've come to the conclusion of actually using a higher temp silicone to reattach the elbow to the cover, then using a delete kit. Ends up cleaning the engine bay up a little bit overall as well! Still going to keep an eye out for another cover though just in case the silicone decides to out itself. :rolleyes:

Here's the delete kit I decided to go with; https://conceptzperformance.com/czp-...hr_p_73524.php

HOPEFULLY I WON'T BREAK ANYTHING WHILE INSTALLING IT.
WISH ME LUCK.
