Hi Everyone,

I was painting my stock BOV last night when it slipped on the hanger and fell 4 feet to the ground. The small vacuum nipple on top snapped off as a result and I'm looking for a new BOV now. My question is, will epoxy hold the nipple on tight enough for regular driving negative pressure? It's been drying for over 12 hours now and I will be waiting until tomorrow before I put it back on the car. Any help appreciated!

 

I can't answer your question of whether or not it will hold up. It might hold for the short term, but for the long term, I'd just buy an evo x bov from someone on this forum. evo x bov is metal, so its a lot more sturdier than our stock plastic bov.

 

Plastic P.O.S.!!! Get the metal Evo BOV!!!

 

Personally, I wouldn't trust an epoxy fix for a second.

In fact, I didn't trust the original unit when it wasn't broken.

If you need a stock plastic one - hit me up

 

I broke that nipple too. I threw the DV in the trash after that and put in the metal valve.

 

I would not "bandaid" your bov. Grab a new one.

I'm actually looking for an evo x bov right now. Anyone pm me lol!

 

Thanks for the advice everyone! The epoxy would not hold at all under pressure soni picked up a used metal one instead
