1) i have no stars will AGD still do free work on it?

2) the serial number is CF01779... when was it made?

3) what level is it?

4) i used to have a smartmag valve and it had 6 holes in the rear half of the valve, this onlly has 2. is this bad?

5) isnt there spose to be a brass piece that sits on top of the on/off. the writing on the bottom is worn away, i have no clue.

3)lvl 7

how much did you pay for this 'valve'?
and the holes are just a thing to charge the gun up faster.. if you can shoot 16 balls per sec, then those 6 holes were good, if not, those 2 should be fine.

You only need 1 hole. As long as it lines up properly. Some valves under ~12000 don't have holes that line up, hence the addition of a second hole, which was most likely added by AGD to resolve this. The 6/8/big hemisphere hole mods don't do anything, since there is still only a fixed passage from the reg to the on/off.
