First, thanks everyone for all the info. I’m learning a lot and starting to do my own maintenance.
I’m rebuilding my RAVE valves on both of my skis (98 GTX Ltd) and so I purchased 4 new Titan guillotines. Question is… why is there such a huge difference in the length and shape? I’m measuring a difference of 3-5mm between the length of the new guillotine and my old ones. Also, one set (top of pic) has a steep angle, which more closely matches the new one, and the other (bottom of pic) is practically 45 degrees. Do these wear down over time? Is it safe to install the new longer one, seeing as how the cylinder bore clearance is NLT .5mm?
I’ve only owned these for a short time and don’t know the maintenance history. Thanks!
