You'd expect so
This isn't isolated tho i read the other week someone had the same results with pf Jones didn't they? Unless I'm mistaken and it is the same instance?
It isn't uncommon that bulk buying from the manufacturer results in less packaging, this saves money on logistics etc so I'm not surprised if pf jones repack them.
The picture of the prv does worry me tho, the pf Jones 1 appears a bit rougher, i would even speculate that it may have been put back together and re crimped
But i don't believe they'd do that, I've only heard reasonably good things about them tbh and I'm not suggesting there is anything dishonest going on.
Here's a thought-
The prv and scv have moving parts inside that need to work smoothly, so for storage reasons I'd expect them to have been pre lubricated to stop them furring up and seizing, perhaps the sealed packaging helps keep them good, perhaps they have a shelf life?. perhaps Ford sell them quickly by the bucket load?
Crazy idea, next time someone buys what looks to be a good pair of valves, and has learn problems.
Try tapping the prv flat (nose end) down onto a block of wood. (This may cause the ball and spring to jump and free off).
Also the scv, maybe some wd40 or similar thin lubricant in the end and with a blunt pipe or something that is clean, push the scv innards inside and out a few times to work it free. (It's a solenoid).
This theory could all be complete rubbish and pointless but so is buying them from 3rd parties as far as i have read on multiple occasions
(but ppl still do)
Especially when someone comes on asking where to buy them from and we say Ford and then they come back all chuffed because they bought 10 on eBay for 6.50p and they think we're stupid and work for Ford on commission then the next week they come back cap in hand, can't do the learns #lordtakemenowicry.
Come on chaps you know you are out there
