I am still of the belief that a spring should be made available to totally eliminate any doubt whatsoever. There is probably one already made that is close if not right on. Reid supply has one with all good dimensions otherwise but the wrong height so surely there are other spring companies that might have a stock spring that would not need set up costs.

I am also believing that if one of the vendors would put together a top tier super deluxe complete rebuild kit consisting of not only the current rebuild kit but also add any and everything that could be replaced in the hydraulic section it would also go a long way toward resolving some issues. In those instructions also mention that in addition to replacing everything with the new pieces in the kit to check the casting for any pitting on the seal surfaces. Maybe even have a picture or two of the seal surface and what is good and what is not.

Market and price it accordingly and I think it would sell. I think there might be some validity to another posters question on who actually does the work. Someone who does not see these things regularly might not necessarily know whether something is good or questionable. If it was in the kit with instructions to use the kit in it's entirety, no ambiguity.
