[s-cars] By-pass vavle ?

[Mike Sylvester]

I have one of the 034 BPV.  The 1st one I received was defective.  The
port on the side pulled out from the housing.  In less than a year the
replacement's o-ring that seals the side port has dry rotted.
I replaced the BPV with an OEM for now until I install the Forge I
recently bought.
