I need help identifying what I have. I am not sure if I already have the updated 86 housing one-piece part or not. According to what I have read and what I can see from the technical bulletin I have the older style three-piece. However, somebody said I had a "retrofit 3 piece" putting me into doubt as to which part I even have. As in now I was thinking do I have the update "retrofit" valve? As far as I can tell the "one-piece" valve should never be able to be disassembled.

Here is what I have. If it is not the updated piece I will go ahead and buy the updated one which is part number 944 107 035 11. I am assuming I do not need to buy o-rings if I buy the one-piece OPRV. When I went to look at the new valve it stated that there were two o-rings. If there are two o-rings that are available for the new valve, then to me that seems like the 86 "one-piece" which is part number 944 107 035 11 could be disassembled, making me think I could have the updated part since my is disassembled.

I need to resolve this soon because it takes multiple days to get parts and I am tired of this project and I just want it to end.

That is an '86 one piece that has been taken apart.

I am not sure if this applies in your case, but I have a Tech bulletin which says that "Binding during removal of a misaligned one-piece OPRV will cause the valve to come apart. If this occurs, the valve must not be reassembled and used. Instead, a new valve should be installed. This unit is considered a NON-servicable part and must not be reassembled."

OK, the next part of the question which has been sitting in my other thread is whether I can reassemble it and how exactly I would do this. The replacement part is $274. I am running short on time here and I need to know what to do.

Related to Austin's post, my valve has slight scoring on the body as well. I am not sure how relevant that is.
