dump valve

[william_young]

just a quick question

 

 i fitted a bailys dump valve yesterday and it worked ok. i took the car to pick up the missus and stopped at tescos. when i got back in it wasnt working so check when i got home all the pipes were ok they hadnt falling off, but the valve itself was boiling hot i  let it cool and fitted it again then, tried it and it worked fine. now went out today and worked ok , done what i had to do got back to the car and it wasnt working again . has this happen to anyone or does it sound like a faulty valve . also should it dump when i rev the car ie just sitting not actually moving .

 

 

 thanks for any answers its beat me billy

I used to have a baily ages ago and it worked under all sort of condtions/ubuse so doesnt sound right to me, and no dump when just reving !

can you adjust the spring on bailey valves ? do they cause chatter too ?

I'm getting rid of my Baileys recirc as it screeches on boost and causes a stall sometimes when coming off the accelerator.

Rab, it can chatter yes, but it's a mixture of air filter, intercooler, turbo, boost, dump valve/spring, etc, etc. You can't adjust anything on this Baileys dv....apart from throwing it away, which i intend to do, when i have my new Forge dv here. []

I've had a baileys d/v on for about 2yrs now no problems at all.

was offered one from scientific steve. but was wanting an ssqv as they are fully adjustable but too dear.
