I need the size of the bolt to replace the bvsv if anyone happens to know it... dont have one to compare and couldnt find a thread that actually listed the bolt sizing.

Thanks,
Tim

what bvsv?

If your talking about the bvsv in the thermostat housing its 3/8 BSPT, but most people including myself just use a 3/8 NPT, which will work. A regular 3/8 npt brass plug can be found at Home Depot for under $2.00

You can see the plug in this picture:

what size is the water feed line for the turbo and the drain?

the coolant feed(nipple on top of water outlet housing) is 1/4 bspt, but 1/4 npt works( i have used 1/4 npt with no problem).

the turbo coolant return is M14x1.5.

Went to the hardware store and picked up a 3/8 bolt and went theres no way, so to be safe i picked up a 5/8 bolt and sure enough.

what is the dissadvantage of just plugging that hole/ what does the bvsv do?

 

[selz202]

All it does is open/close for vacuum to go to the evap. canister. Since i removed my canister ages ago, ive just had the bvsv there and i dont like the looks of something there unfunctional, plus everytime i pop the hood for someone some wise ass tells me thats a problem.

hahahaha... you said wise-ass. i havent heard anyone use that term in real life... only movies/tv! that was great! hes got a good point though. everyone likes to think they know something and try to tell you that your shit is broke if there arent any vaccume lines goin to it.
