Didn’t one of the guys have that valve come out of housing last year?

I never heard that, it's a pressed together unit.

I orderd one today that hopefully warranty will cover. Damn thing is 150 bucks.

Yes I've been talking to this fella.

I thought it would Be good to have a thread just for the valve so people know what to look for.

I wonder if a Jacobson valve would flow enough? Could just rely on tether or get elaborate and use some kind of a switch to activate it. Most cars and trucks have something electronic to shut fuel off.

The problem with roll over isn't just turning the machine off, it's the oil flowing out the vent into the intake and beyond.

The machine would have to be upside down for a while. But it could happen.

Here is how it looks inside. Sounds like it's just pushed together. Joe a rollover valve such as 4strokesolutions Jacobson valve shuts oil flow off also.

Yes I see your point for sure.

I'm stuck. I don't know if I'm going to just run the valve and hope it doesn't leak again or run without a roll over valve and hope not to roll over

Hear ya. Would be nice to know what is failing in that valve. Odds are it won't happen again Joe. Would be more widespread if it was a design failure. So far it's just you and Jon we have heard from.

I contacted him to see if he has one in mind.

Can we put a lesser spring into that valve? Is it easily taken apart?

It must be pretty easy since donedooinit had his fall apart when removing the hose.This is one area to be real careful though. Phazer guy had the idea of using a PCV valve and it worked but one guy had his freeze and lost a engine. So could be real touchy.
