Pump spool valves V5, V4, V3 sweating a lot. VM3 and VC2 not so much.
They are VAT valves F28-62887-03, 11, 14 and so on ~15-16 years old.
I'm speculating that some plastic is aging-braking down at the atmospheric-pneumatic side of valves.
The vacuum side is not effected, according to vacuum pressure readings.
May be some condensation from the small turbos? No
I'm looking for an identical valve to examine, but I can not find one.
We are using industrial grade 99.96% Nitrogen to actuate these valves.
Valves are not effected are dry: VA6, V6, V7 and all annuloses.
