BPV Hardware?

[87jkhockey]

I recently bought a new RV6 BPV off of marketplace. However when it finally arrived it did not come with the new bolts to install the BPV. I am assuming I can use the OEM bolts but was wondering if anyone knows the specs of the bolts used to install the BPV? I looked at some oem parts websites and they didn’t list the bolts. I am also going to reach out to RV6 and see if they will just sell me the bolts. Thank for any input.

The RV6 BPV looks thicker than the OEM, so the OEM bolts may be too short. Best bet is to see if RV6 will sell you new hardware only.

it's a M6 bolt
12mm length is probably plenty

here's the oem BPV side profile and bolt (12mm like iforgottopee said) and rv6 bpv with hardware for reference

Sell it and keep the OEM BPV. The Honda diaphragm bpv is far superior than the aftermarket piston based ones. It requires zero maintenance for the lifetime of the car. The pistons aren't any faster, don't hold pressure better (unless extreme PSI, more than the engine could handle), the piston based valves need to be re-lubed every 10k-20k miles or every year, the piston itself is is heavier/slower to respond under light boost and can bind under thermal expansion/contraction, lube dependent. If you are doing this for appearances then just spray paint the OEM red . Only reason I would get one is if the noise was more but it's not.

I wonder if this is true? Seems like a pretty common mod and haven’t heard anyone else complain about it.
