Alright guys–I'm well into the teardown and I have a few questions....Also, I am going to need to enlarge the spring ID in order for the new valve guide to fit in it. Is that normal? (see pic)
Alright folks,I'm buttoning up my blue streak and finding that I'm needing to apply a lot of pressure to get the retaining ring started with all of the guts in place. Is this normal? It feels excessive and I don't want to mangle anything. -Jesse
No, it's not right. Need to tear it down again or send it to Jimmy Mac.
No, that's an illusion-just some darker brass. There's nothing between them. Two washers are between the springs, as it was upon disassembly.Can anyone speak to the creased inlet (check) valve? I smacked it with the compression tube accidentally, on its edge near where it seals. i posted a pic of it. This feels like something else though, as has been said. Thanks for hanging in there with me, guys! I haven't used up all my tricks yet…
