Pump Fluid End with Suction Valve Closure Assist

A method of servicing a wellbore, the method comprising:

• fluidly coupling a pump to a source of a wellbore servicing fluid and to the wellbore;
• and
• communicating wellbore servicing fluid into the wellbore via the pump,
• wherein the pump comprises a pump fluid end and a pump power end, wherein the pump fluid end comprises:
• a reciprocating element disposed at least partially within a reciprocating element bore of the pump fluid end;
• a discharge valve assembly;
• a suction valve assembly coupled with a front end of the reciprocating element;
• and
• a suction valve stop, wherein the suction valve stop is positioned within the reciprocating element bore such that the suction valve stop contacts the suction valve assembly when the suction valve assembly is stuck open at the end of a discharge stroke of the reciprocating element, and
• wherein the pump power end is operable to reciprocate the reciprocating element within the reciprocating element bore of the pump fluid end,
• wherein, when the suction valve assembly is not stuck in an open position at the end of the discharge stroke, a minimum distance between the suction valve assembly and the suction valve stop is zero, such that the suction valve assembly contacts the suction valve stop with a closing force less than a rod load limit of a connecting rod coupled to the reciprocating element and the pump power end of the pump during normal operation of the pump.
