How you tried to open them yet? What pressure they open at?
I would measure your intial seat pressure, mid travel pressure and you maximum pressure on both gates. You need an air pressure source and a variable pressure regulator. What threads are on the pressure ports on the gate? 1/8in NPT, you might need an a few adapters or hoses. I have lots of hoses at home and gic fittings (hydraulic stuff). Did you get any other springs?

Getting close Tate, was working on getting all the fuel stuff set up on it.. have to order a couple of fittings... tomorrow, start working on the turbos and motor mounts. I think by, not this weekend, but the weekend after I will be ready to drop it in.. I dont think I will be ready to fire yet, but at least have it in and hooked up.
I have a question that I am sure I am going to hate myself, but what does a person use to flare a fuel line? And where can I get said tool

like for tubing? single or doube flare kit. they're pretty common. brakelines and hydraulics of all sorts. I've never bought a kit, theres always been on e a work. but you could get a cheap cheap one at princess auto or you can spend a few bucks with snapon. I'm sure theres places in between though, one of the Alberta tool program guys Im SURE has one.
