Curious about this comment. I did a tear down on my old s63 valves and noticed that while the drivers side closed tight and let no air thru at all, the useless passenger side valve seemed to close and seal completely but still let a ton of air thru when it was closed. Is that because the passenger side valve has the breather hole and the driver's side doesn't? Or is my passenger side valve defective?

If it's intended, why would they put a breather valve and one side and not the other?

🤔
