This came up when I was taking a look at Endeavour over in LA. Where can I find a readable version of this full flow diagram (valves, control systems, and everything)?

It's on pdf pages 139-141 here: https://gandalfddi.z19.web.core.windows.net/Shuttle/SSME_MPS_Info/KSC-SSME_System_Eng_Handbook.pdf but you'll have to "glue" it together into one drawing. Fully legible though.
Here's a snippet at high resolution

1$\begingroup$ Are there any copyright issues in re-uploading a full glued-together version here? $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 14, 2021 at 15:26

2$\begingroup$ Get out your crayons; this one begs to be color-coded. $\endgroup$– kerlynCommented Dec 14, 2021 at 21:14
OK ... So the MPS / SSME system was what I worked on a LOOOOONG time ago, feel free to ask questions. My only request for @Anton Hengst is can you get the Shuttle URL to the Endeavour Docents so that they have the information?: https://aka.ms/space_shuttle
@leftaroundabout The color version: https://gandalfddi.z19.web.core.windows.net/Shuttle/SSME_MPS_Info/ssme_block1.jpg

There are no copyright issues @leftaroundabout, feel free to do so. Your tax dollars paid for every penny of the cost of this program.
