Anyone here taken a shot with those $80 Amazon/eBay "OEM" PRVs?

Normally I wouldn't go to Amazon for a critical part, but $80 vs $220 for a damn valve is hard to argue against, and especially being able to get it overnighted. The few reviews are good surprisingly, just wondering if anyone here has done it.

Edit: For anyone who stumbles on this in the future, it failed two months later. Get a legitimate OEM one. Packaging looked convincing too, as is usually the case with counterfeit parts. Very wishful thinking of me to hope it'd be good, don't risk your motor for convenience.

Don't do it. Cashapp me the $80. Then go buy oem. Will be the same process. Only doing it 1x.

It sucks but when they go bad, it's a job you only want to so once.

Took me 5 minutes to do today, really thanking my past self for deciding to leave the fuel rail sight shield off when I did my valves, just in case I ever needed to replace my PRV.
