Hi all
i have an 02sti ppp with an aftermarket BOV fitted to the intercooler,
(has been on the car for about 2yrs now).
1. how often should this be stipped down & cleaned?.
2. What should i use to lubricate it or should it be re-assembled dry.
regards

There shouldn't be any need to clean a dumpvalve. It will be lubricated naturally by oil vapour running through the breathers and back into the induction path - unless of course you've fitted a catch can.

If the BOV is a Baileys

My car came with Baileys DV when i bought it last year, this was the first thing taken off..... Having the DV sat in the shed for 6 months its now here along with the rest of my Subaru clearout, phase 1 of listings: eBay Seller: r-s-r-signs: Vehicle Parts Accessories items on eBay.co.uk
The bailys comes with some small hex screws to undo, then the spring pops out along with the piston. I used WD40 to clean and poped it back together and tested it

you should clean it 1nce every six months if ur pernikity about oil driping from it and getting it a bit manky as when the pressure release the oil can sometimes be sprayed everywhere if it gets really bad , bought a v2 sti wagon last year and the underside of the hood was like bloodspatter everywhere lol it is not compulsory though but would definately not go a miss

Hi all,
Thanks for all the replies, its not a baileys dump valve, i have done search & it sold by demon motorsport...
so just to clarify, strip it down, clean it with wd40, & do i need to apply any light grease or assemble it dry??
