[Steam-engine] Pop valve service

[Andy glines]

Thanks for the suggestions of people who can work on
my valve.  I was not complaining about my valve and I
am well aware that today's models are not meant to be
operated repeatedly like the originals were.  I have
lifeted the valve 2 times and I think that Brice had
lifted it several times when he fired it.  The Jayco
valves operated just fine except for the blowdown.  I
don't think that Brice specified how much blowdown the
valve should have when he bought it.  15 psi blowdown
is not uncommon on a modern valve UNLESS you specify a
lower value.  I just want to see if someone can adjust
my valve for less blowdown.
