8. A valve comprising:

a travel stop with an interrupted thread, said interrupted thread includes a multiple of linear slots, wherein said travel stop at least partially surrounds a sleeve to selectively adjust a stroke travel limit of said sleeve.

9. A valve comprising:

a travel stop with an interrupted thread, said interrupted thread includes a multiple of linear slots;

a travel stop lock engageable with one of said multiple of linear slots to rotationally lock said travel stop, wherein said travel stop lock includes a key that is received within one of said multiple of linear slots, wherein said key is axially restrained by a threaded mount threaded into a housing that contains said travel stop.
