When I cycled the rod to the bottom of the bed, the shaft contacted the valve shaft at that time and it didn't even touch the rod either. I checked the rod over and it isn't bent.

When you took yer LSPV rubber boot off, how much of the valve shaft was showing? I can take an 3/8" drive extension and put it between the guides and the valve shaft barely touches that. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> That's why I'm thinking the valve is stuck

Does anyone know if the LSPV shaft is supposed to protrude down when you step on the pedal? I didn't think about that part when I was stepping on the pedal...couldn't run back fast enough to see if it did or not. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
