Loose BOV?
I just installed my HKS BOV to my piping. I do have the o-ring in it and the taper on the c-clip is facing upwards as described in the HKS manual.
Thing is it seems pretty loose. I can easily spin it and move it a bit in its flange. Surely this can't be proper? I've never installed one before so I would like your feedback. Here's a little video I took showing how much play there is:
Seems like a considerably thicker o-ring would correct this?

Well flipping the c-clip didn't help any. But I figured out today the c-clip wasn't fully extending into the groove on the flange. I took a flat head screwdriver and pried around the inside edge of the c-clip and was able to "push" the clip further into the groove. Got it in there nice and tight and have no play now
