Got a new TurboSmart Kompact Plumb Back BOV. It needs to be lubed up (I think) before I install it (and before I go messing around with different springs). What kind of oil/lubricant is the best ot use in this situation? TIA

I use synthetic brake caliper lubricant on my Forge.

I guess it's pretty hard to go on the turbosmart website and check the instructions

Lubricate the bore and the piston with Uni-Glide™, hydraulic oil or sewing machine oil (see figure 1) – DO NOT use grease or
viscous oils

Neo Synthetic is the only oil you can use for this valve.

I hope you're kidding right? If not, stop using the Interwebz or something bad will surely happen to this planet!

Let me take you by the hand:

Step 1: http://www.turbosmartonline.com/
Step 2: Click on the link "Instructions & Downloads" wich is the last link on the right, next to the "Dealer Locator" link
Step 3: Choose the right instructions (in PDF) for you BOV under the "Blow Off Valves - Universal" title.
Step 4: Read the PDF to find the tips about lubricating the BOV
Step 5: Have fun with your ---- Lube

And FYI you BOV doesn't need to have a different spring to get adjusted, you only have to rotate the cap to adjust stiffness.

And please, don't get butthurt this time. At least you shouldn't with your lube

Thanks Dark...but my BOV is so new that the instructions are not on the website and it is a little different different from any on there. The instructions that came with it make no mention of taking it apart, cleaning and lubing it. I can fax them to you if you would like so you will forgive me for asking a question on this website. I see you post here quite often. The tension is not adjustable. So I think my question was ok to ask. I am not butt hurt btw, just pulling your chain a little. My skin is a bit thicker than you Canadians.

Thanks for taking me by the hand.......I haven't held hands in a long time.....with anyone!!!!

Peace
