I would be up for a do-it yourself kit. Heck, if I just knew the correct properties for the spring, I would go buy one if it would be easier on Ryan.

 

Do the newer 05 MCS's have this Yo-Yo effect? If not I wonder if a direct replacement of an 05 bypass would work on an earlier model. Sorry if this has already been covered.

 

Here is the latest list of those who have expressed an interest in the Ryephix2 Bypass Valve Spring Upgrade. This upgrade is meant to block the effects of the yo-yo problem found in some MINIs.

If you are considering this upgrade, please indicate your interest in one of the two potential Ryephix2 Upgrade packages:

1. the Upgrade Kit (you get a rewound spring and instructions for a DIY installation -- requires mechanical aptitude).

2. the Upgrade Exchange (you send in your bypass valve and receive one with the rewound spring installed -- also requires mechanical aptitude). Ryan -- we'll probably need some instructions for removal and installation.

Please note that we are trying to gauge interest in these products for Ryan. At this early stage, no product committments can be made. Obviously, I'm volunteering to maintain the list of interested parties.

Please let me know if you are interested, preferably via a PM so that we can keep the posts in this thread more on-topic. Periodically, I'll update the list and repost it.

Folks,

I'm going to start a new thread for the Ryephix2 list. It will still be under "Beneath the Bonnet".

Instead of reposting as we get new interested parties, I will merely edit the first post of the new thread.

See ya' over at "Ryephix2 Bypass Valve Spring Upgrade" thread!
