[QUOTE="squeak12, post: 750728, member: 12742"] I don't know the exact fittings or sizes, but pretty much open up any fittings that you can or purchase higher flow fittings. I don't think anyone does any major work other than the spool valve and perhaps using a drill bit here and there. There is definitely math involved that could optimize the process a bit, but in short make any restrictions less of a restriction. I would also add that going to higher pressure pumps will probably just make the heat show up faster. On the machining, the spool valve is likely some fancy material that is hard to machine well on a lathe without the correct tooling and experience. I don't think that it is the case here, but high pressure fluids and leaking seals will cause some crazy wear that you wouldn't believe. Typically it will be in the direction of the leaks, though, so if that was the case I would expect the damage to be oriented in the direction 90* from what is shown above. Again, though, I'm not an expert on this specific system. [/QUOTE]
