RB PCV valve question

I installed the PCV valve but when I close the cap I can hear it rattle in there when I tap it. Is that normal? Do I have to push it harder in?

Not sure I have the answer to that. When you shake the PCV valve yes it does rattle and is in fact supposed to. I would check to make sure the cap is screwed in all the way and not cross threaded. If it is I'd call it a day.

If your still unsure contact Rob and BMS and he will confirm.

Did you get the special aluminum cap ?

I'd get that too. If it still rattles, then contact Rob.

Shortly after I posted that I realized what it was. I forgot that when you shake the RB PCV valve it rattles itself. When I unscrewed the cap the pcv valve was tight in there so it shouldn't be an issue.
