    In the process of pulling out my engine for a rebuild and I found this hose clamp. Don't know what hose it came off of but I'm curious, does anybody know if this is OEM?

    Usually, plastic with those teeth is to hold a harness or hose
    That’s my guess

    yes oem

    Definitely not a liquid hose. Probably electrical harness

    I just spotted one of those on my 3RZ coolant hose by the firewall. One of the ones that goes to the heater core. I believe it is to hold either the lockdown cable or an electrical cable hanging off of it.

    Thanks for the replies. I found it as I was cleaning my empty engine bay. Found it on the driver's side near the fire wall which is where I have all of my wiring harnesses and some hoses put aside. I've been talking lots of pictures of my disassembly and trying to see if I can spot it in any of the pictures.

    Good catch. I'll have to go take a look at that later this morning to see if that's still there
