hydro steering

[BigFrank]

does it matter what stroke i got?  i have 10 inches ... my old one had 10 too  ...

if there is more travel in the cylinder than in the steering  it can break stuff  bif there is no relife valve in your orbit valve but the 4 port ones have it built in on most   the bigger the cylinder the more oil ya have to move to make it work some  orbit valves are made for specific cylinders to work properly   when i seen ya wheell it at bondy it looked like ya hade to turn a lot of turns of the wheel to move it check yer fittings and make shure there not a restriction fitting with a small  inside diameter  that will restrict the flow and make it slow to steer

You want a cylinder match for the psi of the pump too.

The restrictor will look pretty much just like a flat washer, and it will be stuck into a fitting. Like nascar restrictor plates. Also, ppl remove thermostats and put in big flat washers to restrict coolant flow so coolant will stay in radiator long enough to be cooled.
