Symptoms:

  • The need for a quick, easy & repeatable method to test valve & bore wear

Cause:

Conventional shop tools are not practical for measuring a variety of bore sizes and uneven wear. Other tests are subjective with inconsistent results.

Correction:

Sonnax offers a vacuum test stand kit for quick, easy and repeatable measurements when checking for worn bores and confirming repairs.

The vacuum test stand is the tool I use daily. Not only does it save me money by replacing only valves that are bad (instead of just replacing boost valves and regulator valves etc. because I know they wear), it also increases quality by finding and fixing the real problems, giving my customers great value and a great product.
