I am not sure. Is this supposed to be a flexible hose in there?
The hardline going down the firewall to the bellhousing in the photo you can see a length of runner hose with clamps. I couldnt see it in the -20p. Is that normal and supposed to be like that?

My M818 is not plumbed like that. There is only a short length of rubber hose and clamps right off of the breather on the valve cover. The bottom of the hard tube is open to the air.

Also, I am curious as the hose and fitting leading into the bell housing. My bell housing has a pipe plug fitted there.

Ah, yes, the fording kit.
I just looked at the TM page (-20 pp. 14-54 & 14-55) for the fording kit pressurization valve. The hose line is to pressurize the bell housing.
