I'm picking up a used Christen 802 oil valve that has a rusty ball and I'm planning on replacing the balls, o-rings and port plugs.

1. Does anyone know the diameter of the balls? I assume they are a stock size (1.5"?) and McMaster Carr likely should carry them.
2. What size are the hex head port plugs? (1/2" NPT?)
3. I saw from another forum post that the O-rings are AN6227B-27 (MS28775-222)

Are there any other parts that should be replaced (springs, retainer clips etc.) while the valve is apart?
