Yes, you can get away with a lot of things for a while.

Why not get the right valve for about $75.

It will run it no problem but be aware of heat issues. I have seen systems with restrictions [poorly designed] that had heat issues when you turn it into a open system like you are doing. CJ

As I previously stated CCLS is a totally different type hyd system than a true closed center system and many Ford FEL's on CCLS systems had open center valves. I think heat will not be a factor on a CCLS system operating a log splitter with an open center valve.
