As many of you are aware, the check valves to eliminate the intermittent overheating of our LNF engines are ~~still in excess of $400~~ $24.75 each in Canada. I have yet to have the overheating problem with my 2008 GXP but it's best to be prepared.

Ordered a pair of them from the US the other day and as they are less than $20 for the pair and I had them shipped USPS there will be no additional fees to get them across the border.

Total cost including the $15 shipping charge shipped directly to my home in Canada is $31.52 USD. There was a $5 shipping option offered but that didn't come with tracking. Didn't think that was wise.

Bob already posted the GM pdf install and link to the parts here: http://www.kappaperformance.com/forum/index.php?topic=5362.msg73857#msg73857
But I agree, nice color high res photos would be better

But, I wasn't going to install them until I had a problem...

Need to find some "non silicone based tire lubricant" to install 'em.

"non silicone based tire lubricant" = spit?

Got the check valves today and I thought for a second that they forgot to ship them as the box was so small and light. Are those suckers ever TINY!

WOW, I can't believe they are charging what they are in Canada for something so small!

Thanks.

Oh come on, I was hoping for at LEAST a

I'm at work now but I will take a picture and post it when I get home.

In this picture you will see the two check valves that I received in the mail today. They are still in the package (UPS bag) that GM must have shipped them to the dealer that I ordered them from. You can clearly see the part number that was written on the bag.

For scale I placed a pen beside the check valves and you will also see my daily allotment of almonds as well. (They say they're good for ya')

Those check valves are TINY. Heck, a lot of American Kappa owners likely have bullets bigger than these.

Uh, that's it? $400 each, what are they made from unobtanium?

On a more serious note, in what line(s) do these get installed?

Gold maybe?

I put the install instructions in this post on another thread a few weeks ago.

Just came from the dealer. The price of the check valves have come WAY down in Canada and they are now selling for $24.75 each. That's the list price so if you get any sort of discount they will be cheaper still.

Still way cheaper in the U.S. but for only two I don't know that it's worth ordering them from there when you can go down to your local dealer and pick them up.

Lol, didn't scroll to the right so I didn't see the .22. Would not have guessed .357 if I had.
