Thanks again! I'll post pics up when I have it installed. Maybe someone can use this tread as well.

These days with chinese imports the quality issue is a magnitude worse than it was in 1999.

If this is about the hose, there's a '94 Civic sitting in the junkyard that I'll source the hose from.
It it's about the PCV valve, the one I installed is OEM Honda, but you're not the first person I've heard say the VX didn't really have a PCV valve so I saved the original one just in case I notice a difference with respect to the engine/mpg/idling, etc. The OEM Honda (part #17130-PM6-003) does have a valve in it.
I appreciate all your help! I'm excited to get the gauge installed, to "see" the health of my engine and to improve my "pedal control"!
