weistec air/oil seperator
Completed the install of the kit but damn its tight back there lol.
Question, is the AN fitting that slides into the manifold supposed to have a tiny gap where the arrow is? After I attached the hose it added a good amount of pressure to pull the fitting tighter towards the motor but it didnt seem right to me. Just found it odd that the AN fitting itself wouldnt be secured to the manifold using the torx screw instead of that little C clip. Whats the reasoning for that?
I forgot to turn the pcv tube and currently that round portion of the tube is pressed up against the firewall. Ill have to go back in there and try to turn it. Can that fitting that goes into the manifold be turned simply by hand?

The point of the c-clip is so you can adjust what angle the fitting sits at incase you need to run it differently. As for the plastic portion - it actually plugs into the crankcase/top of the block. It can just simply turn by hand but there is a coolant pipe that restricts its movement and runs from side to side.

^makes sense about the clip.
I saw a post from weistec themselves stating to turn that hose/fitting to allow for better clearance issues with the firewall. Guess I'll have to get the hands back in there again

Also, make sure you keep a good grip on that C-clip when you loosen it back up. I dropped mine and had an oh **it moment as I couldn't see where it went. Luckily my magnet grabber picked it up on my first try.
