So I need to install the OEM BOV because the Forged bov is giving me problems. I noticed the OEM one is 3 loose pieces. How do I install them without the loose pieces getting lost into the inlet where the bov goes?

The cover should go over the spring and be pressed in place.

A third hand is better but you can do it. PITA for sure though.
Take the Forge off and reach through with your left hand and push it in place. Reach straight down with your right hand with a screw and twist it on. Keep pushing on it or spring will make it want a to push off. Now repeat with a second screw. With 2 screws hand tight reach through with long screw driver in left hand and reach in with right hand with screw and hold in place while tighten with screwdriver. Then tighten all. I have done this. Helps if you have a grabber tool and a magnetic tip. I'll send pics from my pc in a bit.

Better pics
The grabber tool with the magnetic pickup on the end is THE way to go. Pulled a screw out. I'll get it sized at the hardware store for ya.

BOV screw size
For you Kuntryboy865:
M6 14mm. You might get away with a 12mm or a 16 with a washer.
Our bolt is a Torx 30 (M6 14mm)
View attachment 12005
Notice it says 1 pitch. Refers to the spacing of the threads. (important)
View attachment 12006
Different head type but fits!

Should help you be able to pick one up at the hardware store.
Have a good weekend.

Putting on the OEM BPV is a PITA! I've done it, it also helps if you have access to a lift, but ramps will work too, also 3 hands is really nice if you can get someone to help, start the bottom screw first, and just hand tighten to hold the spring in. It took me 4 times to get it to stay without shooting the spring out. Take a deep breath and relax and you'll get it... [emoji41]
