NEW STL028 8L45/8L90 Reinforced Plate~Gard™ Dampener Kits
And unlike anything currently available…
Ours work in Stock O.E. valve bodies
Or…
ALREADY reamed and / or then failed dampener bores…
This kit allows you to bring your unit back up to and beyond
Your current expectations! Without REAMING!
Q: So, what happens when the oversized dampeners wear out or break?
A: The worn casting is unusable. Further reaming is not possible because increased piston area and spring tension required to offset the increased load pushes the dampener beyond the range of functionality, and it is no longer able to absorb the oscillation wave. At the OEM pressure specs, oscillation absorption is limited, so damage occurs.
The Cause:
The OE dampener piston design is structurally incapable of withstanding the pressures to which it is subjected.
The proof…? They break!
Also separator plates get crushed by the OEM dampeners & springs under high pressures. This is why we also recommend using the New STL-8L90 VBU™ along with this STL028 Plate~Gard™ repair kit.
The Simple Solution®:
Use Superior’s patent-pending STL028’s in all your 8L series units.
The new STL028 Plate~Gard™ encapsulated dampener design prevents
further damage to the spacer plate.
No need to buy a new Plate, and No concern about possible “leakage” as dampeners are independently sealed in the VB castings with our propriety spec O-rings. As we SAY, THE FIX IS IN!
