[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 120765, member: 16545"] Brenda - Unfortunately the '89 - '94 KDX power valves were more prone to breakage than the '95 - current KDX power valves (which are very similar to KX power valves). The problem with making them from stainless steel is a thermal one. As any material heats up, it expands. Aluminum has a different coefficient of thermal expansion than stainless steel, which may cause problems during operation. Since the aluminum valves tend to break when they become siezed, it is basically the weak point. If you strengthen this weak point, something else is going to break which may be more expensive to repair. [/QUOTE]
