Damn Faulty Bailey BPV
 
Decided just to check the BPV to try and fix the bogging on gear change i experienced at the Drags.

Took it out, stuck my finger inside the valve, and Click, the piston clicked back into its seat!
Hmm stuck piston hey..not good.

Then I sucked on the vacuum nipple, hmm just keep sucking and sucking, damn thing is leaking, piston wont move..
Tossed it out, put in a new GFB Bypass valve, went for a drive, and presto, no bogging on 1-2 gear changes..

So much for reliability of aftermarket Valves.
The GFB valve seems much better built and more heavy duty, price is good and made right here in australia.

Out of curiousity, what BPV did you have before?

You Aussies down under are crazy with all that sucking...
 
...but shouldn't it have been your lovely bride performing that task?

Hope all is well and you are getting some sleep,
