I say that about the 16v because the pump sends oil to the valve, which comes back up the return line to the reservoir without any pressure building. I assumed that if the valve worked, there would be no bypass to the reservoir until the car was raised. "hammered" seemed to be an accurate description, if the pressure spikes in the SLS are comparable to the slams the driver feels in the seat over small pavement imperfections. This sucker has all the suspension compliance of a go-kart. Still haven't removed the valve, can't get the lines busted loose and don't want to cut them. I may take a propane torch to it and try "gentle" heat.
