Forge BPV maintenance

[peter.sellers]

What is recommended for BPV maintenance? I haven't done anything in ~10K miles.

Thanks

I usually pull it apart every other oil change, clean and lightly grease the inner moving parts. and fidget with springs and shims. I have finally found the combo that gets my fuel trims where they need to be. yellow plus 2 shims!

That's what I ended up using.....Mobil 1 synthetic

Btw, I am curious from your name - do you play the sax?

 

[saxmanbrad]

I use the Mobil 1 also. You can buy a rebuild kit for like $10 from Forge, comes with new piston, gaskets and lube.
