LGT Style BOV/BPV Gasket Template


Recommended Posts

Not so much a how-to, but I figured this might be useful to some (especially the lazy:lol:). I bought the COBB XLE BPV and noticed that it did not come with a gasket - or a grooved lip in the flange to retain the stock one - so I scanned the flange and traced in Photoshop. Template is exact dimensions of the stock BPV flange when printed.

That is awesome. And you are a nerd! But it is awesome! About 100x more high-tech than my way... A sharpie and gasket paper (which works okay, but is not perfect and not high-tech).

 

yea I have always used the primitive method of tracing with a sharpie in the past, figured this time I'd indulge my OCD and have it fit perfect the first time.

 

Behold the technological superiority of 21st century gasket creation:lol:

I don't get it... it fills an entire page when I print it. :confused:

 

What software are you printing from? I just tried opening it in Paint and it worked.:confused: Also if you have Photoshop it should come in as 4.65"x2.1".

 

I rescaled and updated the original post, I think the fact that it was 200dpi may be screwing it up in certain apps.

Figured it out, thanks.

 

FYI AutoZone has a roll of rubberized gasket material for about $5, its a great deal for the amount you get. Its Fel-Pro 3157, they have it in the back. Its grey in color. 10" x 26" roll. Its like a rubberized paper-like gasket... it seems to be perfect for the BOV. I have not installed it yet, but imagine it will work fine.

I am trying to get the above attached picture to scale correctly and haven't been able to using MS paint (don't have photoshop). I tried rescaling to 4.65"x2.1" and it was still too large.

 

What are the pixels supposed to be adjusted to in the attached image? Thanks!
