    I'm tempted to play with the pressure relief setting but I might wait to hear what you guys have to say first

    I also replaced the relief valve orings, the backer ring crumbled apart and the oring looked like it hadn't been sealing completely

    I know it's been a while, lots of projects going on before winter hits but I finally installed a pressure gauge between the pump and valve, when the ram is fully extended and held, if I balance the valve handle to keep the engine from stalling I see at most 500psi on the gauge. I also installed...

    Used the splitter all day yesterday, must have been above 30 Celsius outside and the oil reached 220F. Cylinder started leaking at the rod more and pump sounds like it cavitates once oil is warm. Pump is quite when oil is cold, pump is quite when valve is in action in either direction once...

    How many gallons of fluid would be enough for this pump? I could always keep an eye out for a bigger tank or one to add onto this one to make it bigger

    I took the pump and tank off along with the valve and rinsed it out with gas and some fresh oil, the fluid was full of small shiny metal particles. There's evidence of the person that built this that when they cut piping between the pump and tank that they didn't bother to de-bur anything so I...

    I don't believe this is a closed center plug. I will install a pressure gauge once I have a chance to pick one up

    Where would you recommend installing the gauge?

    I will get one the next time I'm in the city, pump is plumbed to the "in" port of the valve.

    The brand is cross but I don't see any model numbers. I tried searching around online but I can't find specifics on any cross products that would help me figure out any information on the valve
