I hate working on my car! Well i was taking apart my mbc so i could pull the spring out a bit because it was fully open and i wasnt hitting my fuel cut. and i fing dropped the ball down something and i cant seem to find it. is there anywhere i can get just the ball or something so i dont have to buy an entirely new mbc+a? spatl, could i buy the ball from you if i cant get them in stores? lol, this blows

the good news is the mtf0063 procedure went good and im about to give it the final fill!

anyone know?

I dont know the exact size, but just look for a new one. Make sure it will sit completely over the seat of the mbc, and wont slide through the spring. Just try home depot or somethin, you might try looking at ball bearings?

any steel Ball bearing will work. Ace Hardware around here is good for them. As stalker said, just take it in and size it up. Just needs to seal the hole and fit the area. If not, I can send you another one.

do i need to buy an entire bearing and take a ball out? i found the exact peice at home depot but no balls for them. there were bearings at ace but i wasnt sure if i needed to buy the entire bearing

All you need is one ball bearing. 1 Round steel ball that fits inside the MBC, covers the hole correctly, and seats on the spring nicely.

I found a couple of balls but they do not seem to fit. Just out of curiosity, how big should it be? Should it be able to slide down the mbc until it just pokes out of the narrowest part of the nozzle, or should it just sit on top of the widest opening of the narrowing nozzle? I have a ball that does each, but it slides down the middle of the spring. Bah. I cant wait to get this up and running again, the car feels so slow w/out it and the BOV makes tiny little fart sounds instead of the strong wooooosshhh.

Experiment - you can even improve on this design, possibly..
