also did you keep all the valves in there origanial holes?? thats VERY important
each valve is lapped or matched to its hole.

hey guys thanks, I am using 10w oil, this is helpful... Bigford, I did have the valves in order but I mixed them up now , the center one (problem one) seems to be looser than the other two, I will have to try to re-organize them if possible, Jammer it actually did work when I first got it but I have not been using steady at all.. just testing off an on..but two outer valves work fine the center is problem all things equal..real head scratcher for me..too bad the block wasn't see through, it is hard to picture the oil paths in the block..! thanks again for your inputs!

gauthib12 If you are using regular motor oil for your hydraulics that is a no no oils have special additives for special uses. I use Cat oil and have no problem with my hydraulics and it sets for long time with no problem. As for you problem if it worked when you got it why would you take it apart. Ed

Thanks Ed, I researched different oils and read that 10w was light and that it is also used as a hydraulic substitute, never considered additives and such...what Cat oil do you use? Weight?....the valve seemed to work but not well and being the over inquisitive sort I took it apart...maaaybe it was defective from the start...I can say that both outer valves fit the hole close, the center seems to have wiggle room no matter which valve is fitted...I don't know... Must be the valve fit and the oil is just flooding in the area and exiting both ports...nonetheless frustrating !!
