Will shortening the valve stem reduce/eliminate blowby up the feed neck?

I wish I could answer your question, but as a former Sentinel owner... I had to post

It was a very solid gun, super easy to clean (pull pin/bolt) pretty cool milling on the side! and VERY quiet! It was definitely one of my favorite STBB!

I sold it last summer and I kind of regret it

Oh well, I'm sure it went to a good home!

I agree that as far as any blowback, I expect there's nothing that can compare.
I'm pretty sure that shortening the valve will cure disturbance in the feed stack which is the cause for the mess. The bolt needs to be delayed a bit I reckon.
I will probably never use the marker, I keep it around mostly as a loner for the peeps who feel pump is too much of a handicap.
