I replace all the poppet valve's in the front 6 pack, its my opinion that they have never been changed, it was not that hard a job but if I was at home I would have removed the body and used my ultrasonic cleaner. The pressure switches could have had 1" more wire then I wouldn't have had to disconnect them. Looking at these photos You can see that 3 of the six poppets are shiny and 3 are not, two of the dirty ones came from the travel up and down valves, also you can see that one of them has been leaking by as it has a crud built up on the valve. All the poppets where hard as a rock so they needed replaced. Also the poppet valve body on one had some wear marks from the spring. Strange....
Thanks Tom!
