You should get a real suprise when you restore the system to what it should be. You want about nineteen pounds present. The manufacturere states about fifteen but nineteen is better and proven over the years. Do not leave the system as it is over the long term. Personally I would install the complete relief valve now rather than later.

Thanks I hopped you would see this. Its been running with the same checkless IP for the last 8 or 9 years and, like I said the car is very zippy, I have had many 240Ds in the last 10 years and know what to expect from a 616. I will put in the proper check and see what happens, but if shes any zippier I'll be up for a 240D speed record  I will stretch the spring to 27mm?
