A fix for sticky valves - centering the spring

Post by tallcorndavid »

If your valves are sticky, please check the pistons to make sure the bottom plate has a "button" or "washer" that centers the spring. If not, it's possible to make such a button or washer. See my video at https://youtu.be/clWq5ulWOkk . Thanks for watching.

After I brought this to the attention of the importer, today (22 October 2020) I received from him replacement pistons with the button/washer machined into the bottom piston plates. So it turns out the epoxy buttons were only needed as a stopgap. Thank you!
