oh I know I fixed the problem I had now. I was just letting them know there is an indicator if the valve is stuck one way or the other for some reason.

I'm living proof that no valve is necessary.

That was my only point.

Others see my comment as irrelevant, maybe so.

I have not done the swap with no valve, but I have done it with the original guts and then with the ZJ guts. There is better stopping with the ZJ guts.

Did you install the ZJ PV parts after bleeding the system with the XJ PV parts in place? I installed all the parts in BD's kit before bleeding the system and the bleeder on the PV kept blowing the rubber cap off and squirting fluid.

I did see the ZJ upgrade, but mine is a little bit older a 1993.
Just finished mine on a 93. Parts from Dave as mentioned in replys. A little work, but well worth it!

Who is this Big David? Is there a site he has? I'd be most inclined to go that direction.
