Tried a search, no luck.

When replacing the AIR check valve(s), is there any need to use any sort of sealant on the pipe threads? Like copper RTV or something? I'm guessing no, but just wondering what other's have done?

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, why are you replacing air check valves instead of just ditching the entire AIR system? OBDII plug in is nice to have, afterall.

No point in ditching the AIR for me. It costs no power, and the minor weight savings won't make any difference on a street only car.

It does clean up the engine bay a little, and it's nice not to have to move it out of the way to do work in the future. I'm just one to rip out all of that unecessary crap. Sorry I can't answer your question.

I didn't use any sealer when i replaced mine. i jsut torqued them down super hard, and put them back on the manifolds. I dont se any reason for a sealer, as there is no liquid, only air passing through. Just tighten the new chack valves back down, and you're good to go.

i would definately ditch it.. makes your engine bay a lot less clustered.. and it can only help you.. there are no real downfalls that i know of for removing the check air system.. good luck though

Thanks, that's the answer I was hoping for. I figured sealer would be overkill but just wanted to check.
