I ordered a rebuild kit for a Star Exhauster BB and am having problems getting 
a rubber rebuild kit for this valve. 
Does anyone have a rebuild kit?

If this valve can't be rebuilt, what options are available? The system was 
designed to function with the valve. It already has an accelerator on the system

Maybe the push to change was to stop any K-Factor War between manufacturers.
I have heard it said there was an RTI war and that is why the makers stopped
publishing the RTI in the data, i.e., "this head activates the square root
of X feet-seconds faster than this one so it has to be better". But with
K-factors it is more noticeable because the numbers in the calc sheets are
all 2 or 3 decimal places "accurate", so why shouldn't K be?

I think it was the 99 edition when it was changed so it has been awhile.
