the air psi needed to hold the vale up will definitely not push the piston down. the main benefit to using air is it holds the valve all the way up nice & tight & makes adding the locks & new spring while using the spring compressor tool much easier.

I agree. Sometimes the seal holds it good sometimes it slips down getting the locks back on is a pain.
