I guess I should count myself lucky. My original B1 had a bad OPV valve from the start, so it got replaced. In a years time I went with a plumbed in line, rotary pump, and I eliminated the stock OPV valve and replaced it with a Swagelok part. This setup has worked flawlessly for years now. It cost a lot more than a $10 OPV valve, tho.
