35d: adding crankcase breather oil separator

[POBEP]

Reviving old thread for some additional input:

Kalifornia owners - any issues passing smog check (visual inspection) with Provent installed?
Can someone advise on provent valve holes diameter for the stock (non-tuned) car?
Any tips for removing / re-installing dipstick guide tube (specifically lower bolt)?
Should I use worm clamps to secure vacuum hose extension?
Should I use clamps to secure 1/2" oil drain tube (T / 90-degree / valve)?
Any recommendation for the CCV plate pentagon bolts torque specs?

Huge thanks to ZetaTre and sgrice for the guide, pictures and parts.

I got base parts manufactured and positioned (no piping yet).
Spent too much time time removing 3" vacuum link.

Any advise how to remove lower dipstick bolt?
I can not reach it from the top.
Also, there is AD piping near lower dipstick mounting section.

POBEP - it's been several years since I did my installation, so I don't remember all the specifics, but here are my thoughts:

1) Advice on lower dipstick bolt - all I can remember is that it was really far down, but I did get to it from the top. No way it was reachable while standing next to the engine compartment. I remember putting a bunch of padding (old towels and bathmats) on top of the engine and then having to lie on top of the engine and reach my arm way down. As I think I noted, it probably looked like I was doing something obscene to the engine. Cannot remember whether I used socket extensions, but it is certainly possible.

2) I used worm clamps for the vacuum hose and the oil drain tube connections.

3) No idea about the CCV plate torque values. As I recall I just snugged it up to roughly what it had seemed like to remove. I seem to recall there is a rubber gasket so the torque was not too high.

Hope that helps. Good luck.
