dump valve sticking nood help

hey i jsut got a set of 3/8 smc valves and one of them is sticking open. has anyone else had this happen and what is the cure for this? can the valves overheat. they do sit out in the open in the back of my civic hatch all day. any suggestions will be greatly appriciated.

my buddy has the saaaame problem. may i ask where you got them. he has to pull the valve apart and align some holes in the metal plate on the diaphram. easy to do just a pain in the ass

my smc valves stick open all the time. just have to take em apart and clean em. if that doesent work i get a diaphram kit from sd. by the way does anyone know what the best (most durable) valves are? i want some that can handle getting a little crap in em.

i hear nothing but good things about danz valves. i have them on the front and they seem to be working awesome. they were used when i got them. i opened them up and they were cleaner than all the rest.

mine did this also about a month or two ago wile i was driving ..

i took it a part and shot some air through it and blew out some trash put it back together and it is working fine know

ive used and liked danz and parker valves. im gunna use 3/8 ascos on my mazda. been told by more than one person that they are bulletproof.

"nood help" i love help from women in the nood!

this link will help you with the take down of the valve
