are you positive that all the valve stems
are the same ??
there is a number stamped on the stem
ie 177A or 571, etc
the height from the base to the center line
of the stem tube should be 1.5in (43mm)
some valve assemblies had a small rectanglar
foot that prevented the valve from protruding
thru the valve slot
some newer flaps are a lot thinner and lighter duty than the originals and are not
built up around the valve stem hole and this
might allow the stem to drop further into the
slot
