The o-rings are too big, use the old ones

I only bought this to get the hoses when I was rebuilding my old OEM CCV valve with a new diaphragm. I had to remove all the red o-rings and replace them with old hose o-rings because the red ones are too thick. They generally almost don't kick in with a lot of effort and lubrication. Also, the CCV valve included in this kit has been opened up to compare to the OEM I rebuilt and the holes for the atmospheric pressure side of the diaphragm are much smaller here. It almost looks like this could cause a problem at high vacuum levels, but can't confirm it as I haven't tested it. In general a good kit, just change the rings, the fit is fine.

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
