I don't yet have a superheater, but I have modified my original safety valve
as follows. Find a small washer, or combination of washers, that total 1.0
mm in thickness. Use this washer(s) to shim the safety valve spring. In
other words, put the washer(s) between the spring and the little "e" clip
that holds the assembly together. This mod will raise the lift off pressure
to 40psi. This is an extremely beneficial mod to do.

I thought I would throw a couple of questions out to the group .
I am in the middle of converting my Ruby and at present its dismantled right
down to
the frames and drivers.
1- How much of an improvement does adding a superheater make ?
( is it worth adding at this point )
2- An easy mod raising the operating psi to 40lbs - has this been a
worthwhile change ?
Are there any more mods to the performance of the Ruby?
Thanks in advance
Ferdinand
