Replaced
Removed old valve yesterday -- seemed ok -- this check valve did hold pressure and was generally clean. So I am not sure if the new RB Valve will work any differently. My BMS OCC did not HAVE ANY ACCUMULATION of oil after 3 months. However - my intakes were heavily coated with tar/sludge when I blasted them last week.
. . Cap is just for looks -- I was gently with it and on re-installation was careful not to over tighten. . I will just have to trust ROB @ RB TURBO that this is an upgrade. |

As for the cap, it is also not going to add any power. It is not really for looks either as it is invisible with the covers all in place. The purpose of the cap is that some have damaged their caps while loosening/unloosening them. When you do that, you are at the mercy of buying a new valve cover (@~$400) just for the cap as it is not available as an individual component from BMW. Making the cap was a lose lose situation for RB; knowing we will only sell to those who want a cool looking hassle free cap or those who are only in dire need for it (there have been a few in this boat), it likely will take well over a year to come out even on making it. Hope this helps, not out trying to break hearts over here... just trying to give parts that people ask for even if it means at a loss. As priced, the cap will take selling right 20 units before breaking even... which I predict will be sometime in mid 2014. lol. Rob |

The cap has a few actual benefits.
1. You can tighten the cap and know it is tight 2. No fear of shredding the OEM plastic cap 3. You can service the pcv valve on this car, take it off put it on every other car/motor you get. 4. Piece of mind...that is a big one for me, I know I have the best parts possible.

ROBC, you sold me. Ill be ordering this cap and the PCV vent hose ANNNNND the Valve cover and im at 78k. Preventative maintenance is key IOT have a tuned vehicle for over 100k miles. we are blessed with a block that can take abuse, so long as our electronics and delicate support parts are properly maintained.
car has its heart aches but man does it thrill also

Couple questions about the rb pcv valve . What is the purpose ? To eliminate oil going to unwanted places ? Is the best time to do this when doing vcg replacement? Do you need a occ for it to be effective ?

How long has it been since you've had a Walnut Blast? Also try cleaning TMAP sensors

Cool. Thxx. The tmap sensor Is locate on the chargepipe just before the throttle body right?
How often do you need to clean it? Do you just spray it and wipe off ? |
