RE: Stinking Head, replace Joker valve?

I'll carefully avoid the opportunity for*several great puns and just say that I second your opinion.

The*most likely*cause of*bubbling is a higher pressure in the tank and piping downstream of the bowl. A good set of valves might prevent it but the root cause is elsewhere.

Replacing leaking valves*may just pressurize the system more and might*lead to*a worse outcome than stinky bubbles.
