      Forge BOV? With the engraving? Are the O Rings in good condition?

        Could someone please measure the sizes of the original O-Rings so that I can buy some heat resistant ones, I can't measure mine they're fried pretty well

            I would contact Forge directly. In my experience they have always been absolutely super about responding to problems with their products.

              Yeah it's a forge product, bit odd isn't it, going to get some silicon o-rings, hopefully they can withstand the heat

                Seconded.

                First time I've seen an issue like this. As Cyclone said though, message Forge and they'll likely send you out replacements and may want your frazzled seals back for testing.

                  I'm not sure how the original seals could be removed, they look like they changed to a liquid

                    I'm going to buy some now, probably get Vitons


                    Thought it was an odd one worth sharing

                    If anyone else needs any in future they are 20mm and 40mm costing me about £6 for 10 of each both Vitons a constant 200oC, let's see how well it works!
