That tilt cylinder, with the nick in it and that hole you plugged up, makes sense to replace it.....was wondering what kind of VB you replaced that china one with?
honestly the guy sent me a replacement but its still not working after replacing the cylinder, when i look in the valve body fill hole its bubbling and gurgling right at the center, and pushing a bunch of air through the line

I replace the both cylinders and replace the pump and the valve body

when i press the trim button up it just gurgles in the revisor and will not lift it up unless i help it lift then it will stay in place 100% when i press down it goes down extremely fast with no problem

I made sure all connections where tight and that there were no leaks up anywhere obvious refilled went up and down about 10 times while helping it to let any air out and still no luck still wont go up but will go down?

Took the manual release loose while motor was up and it went down like suppose to, Tightened it back up and nothing but gurgling again? when you look in there it looks like the fluid is moving but just in the revisor itself but not a lot of air bubbles in it?

You replaced the trim cylinder, tilt cylinder, and the valve body twice.....and still not working right. All I can think of is those valve bodies are the China clones.....if you still have the original factory VB you could try to repair it using the info in the stickies at the top of this forum.....would be worth a try as those new valve bodies on ebay are notoriously bad. All you need for the repair is 2 tiny o-rings, panel clip pliers, a torch, and lots of patience......and if that fixes it you could maybe return the China VB for a refund....
If you decide to repair the old VB I would suggest you start a new thread for Valve Body Repair....members Jiggz and jerryjerry05 are the authors of those repair threads and would give you the best advice.....
