Like the title says, at almost $30 plus shipping its kind of pricey for what it is. Granted, NOTHING for these trucks in cheap. However, as I build my new engine I decided to address all possible issues because I want it to last trouble free for as long as possible. I put almost 300k on a stock valve with no issues, but knowing how well BPD builds their products I figured this wouldn't hurt anything and could prevent a possible issue. My stock one has close to 300k on it, and so it just seems wise to replace it with an upgraded part. Fit an finish is just like factory. Definitely a better engineered part though with the support for the entire sealing surface. Well worth it IMO.
