As mentioned in an earlier post, my BPC valve came apart at the seem that runs around the valve just below the electrical connection. It probably came apart because the seal had been comprimised somehow before I got it & probably accounted for it's poor performance when installed during my recent LPT upgrade.
I cleaned the old sealant out of the seam and gave the innards a shot of Tri-Flo while it was apart for good measure. Used 2 part epoxy, making sure that it sealed all the way around the valve, let it set-up & cure and put it in. MUCH BETTER! Noticeable improvement in get-up & go in lower gears.
Thanks for the tips Tapani & Street!
