I know. They are the only company that offered a Lifetime Warrantee. So I took a chance.Since I purchased the part new, I can keep the old core. The ONLY company that claims to have USA made rebuilding parts is Lone Star. Since I have the Power steering control valve I may attempt to rebuild it IF Lone Star will sell a rebuilding kit.
I wonder where you can get instuctions on how to rebuild a Power steering control valve?? Anyone do it? Is it hard?

I have went to one HPDE and some street driving. So far, good. I do not notice any floor leaks. I will have the car up on a lift to have the differential rebuilt. I'll look closer then. Send a PM to remind me in 4 weeks.

For others that will read this thread:
I do know that Lonestar rebuilds these valves, and will do yours and return it.
They will even buy old cores.
But they will NOT touch a Chines made core, only original Delco GM cores.
I know of one guy who put three repop valves in, all in a row.
All had serious pressure or non-centering problems immediately. No obvious leaks.
4th time he put a Lonestar valve in and it worked perfect immediately.

Lone Star is the only way to go. Rebuilt originals only. I replaced mine recently and it works just fine. And yes, don't grease them and don't allow anyone else to grease them, Period.
Old thread.... but FYI.
