JayCee Billet Oil Pressure Relief Valve — CNC 6061-T6, O-Ring Sealed
JayCee's billet oil pressure relief valve replaces the stock stamped unit with a precision CNC-machined piece that won't flex or fail. Hard-anodized aluminum gives it a clean look that matches the rest of a billet build, while the O-ring seal keeps oil where it belongs.

Material & Construction
This component is machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum rather than cast or stamped from sheet, which is why engine builders trust JayCee oil-system hardware on both street and performance air-cooled VW builds. Tighter tolerances at the sealing surfaces mean fewer weep leaks over time compared to lower-cost stamped alternatives.
Installation Notes
Always install with a fresh o-ring or gasket as applicable, torque fasteners evenly in a criss-cross pattern, and re-torque after the first heat cycle. Check for seepage at the sealing surface after the first drive and before every oil change thereafter.
