Since it has a guide rod you will have to, and modify it differntly.

Yes because the guide valve keeps the diaphram in place. Trust me i modded a lawn genie the wrong way by takeing the rod out. It honked when it shot and i only got 5 shots from it.

sorry i was in a bad mood.

so on the wrong valve mod it says to drill a hole on the groove but my groove is thin and on the top of the valve i don't have room. Does it matter where the hole for the fitting is for the wrong sprinkler valve modd?

The fitting can go pretty much anywhere in the valve, as long as it doesn't impede movement of the diaphragm.

Pyromaniac, where was the insult? Apparently, you don't know what you're talking about. And why is he a "noob" now? You've only been around a month or so yourself. And just so you know, the SpellCheck button is there for a reason, try using it or taking a second or so to correct yourself.
