So update me, Someone said that Mark tried to up size
his hammer and it overheated?????

I do not know how big or complicated the Massey valve
is  but the Nazel valve seems small but more
complicated...

On my Beche if you run it a lot there is a water
cooling system that runs around the valve to cool it.

Only one time when I was doing a lot of cold hammering
it got very hot.

I have a Beche 330 lb. and the valve system is very
simple
I have had the valve apart and although is simple, it
is big! it has many ports and a spring at on end.

I do have all the drawing  if you are interested.
