Came home to find water running out from under my house. After some investigating found a pencil lead size stream coming from the water heater pressure valve. Opened the valve and let it run for a while and then when I shut it off the stream is as big as a #2 pencil. So I go inside and fill the tub so at least I can take a bath tonight. Water seems extra extra hot. So I go outside and hook a hose to the heater and flush it of hot water. Now the pressure valve is leaking a drip a second.
I'm thinking one of the two thermostats is stuck on; over heated the water; blowing the pressure valve. I really hate putting money into this water heater because the serial number says it was built in Sept 1990. But since a cheap 6 year 50 gallon water heater is over $500 I am going to try and rebuild this heater. 2 new thermostats; heating elements; and a pressure valve.
So my question; are these parts pretty much universal or do I need to buy specific parts that fit my brand heater only??? Anything else I should do while I got it apart????

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
