Valve block solonoid seal reface.. Test

[wayneg]

Having had great success with the valve block on the new car today I decided to do the old car as she was starting to sag a bit overnight on the rear right.
I resurfaced all of the solenoid faces but did not renew any of the existing O-rings.
All up a couple of hours in and out. Now for the wait to see if the sagging has stopped

Initial start up and all looking good. Overnight however she is down about 50% evenly on each corner. Started her up and immediate springs up to std hight. My thoughts are to leave alone for a few days to see if there is any break in period on this one

3 days in and not looking to good. I have not driven the car so that could possibly be a factor. The right rear corner that was drooping overnight now stands firm and proud whilst the other 3 corners that were good now wilt. The front nearside the worst overnight hitting the bump stops. Enough playing the waiting game I just put an O-ring kit in ( Thanks Paul ) . All blown up and sitting square, what will the morning bring.....

Ding Ding... Round three.
Put a bypass kit on the two rears to check the bags and hoses are all good. Next day no leakage at all. Removed the valve block again. Removed only the two rear solenoids. Removed O rings, cleaned area re cleaned then cleaned again. Refitted all, reinstalled valve block, pumped up and today, a day later all looks good, no drooping.
So the test proves nothing although I still believe the end resurface is the way to go.
