i recently got a monte with hydraulics im new to the hydraulics scene and was woundering what kind of pumps i have they have no names on them on the bloch it has XL or X7 on the block and on the other side of the block it has a air valve like on a bicycle and under it it says POWER PUMP was woundering if any one knows what breand hydraulics i have and what the valve is for thanks>>>>>

the valve is for adding oil when it gets low

lol..it's to pressurize the tank with air. it's supposed to make the setup quicker, but will only cause problems so dont put any air in it.

hmm, power pump, got any pics?

yeah the air valve is supposed to send the oil faster like a piston pump, but eventually just puts air into your hoses which you try to avoid.I always open mine up every once in a while to let a little air that has built up come out

dont mess w/ the air unless you have a piston pump, you WILL have problems

thanks for the heads up i wont be fucking with the air valve!!!!!!!!!!! thanks

What if your pumps are tilted with the tank pointing up? Will there still be problems with air getting in the cylinders? I'm new also to hydros and just want to get as much snap out of the setup as possible

It has LX engraved and they are Luxor pumps.

Dude...what the fuck... why did you bump a topic from 2005?

Googled why there's a valve stem on my block and this thread came up, if I asked a question on it it would be bumped up and eventually someone would read it and have an answer
