I am reassembling my ABomb with all new orings and Dow55. This thing leaks EVERYWHERE. New oring kit from Capt Oring
I cannot get the input air to shut off no matter how low the LPR and CP HPR are set.
First leak:It feels like it is getting the LPR bypassed as if the square base oring was bad but it is brand new. I can see the oring grease being blown off the front of the ram.
Second leak: It is slowly leaking out of the breach. The cup seal is facing the correct way (cup toward the pressure side). The ram sleeve was put in from the front to avoid damage (in all of my years of rebuilding timmys, I have never tried this method and wow how much easier to install without cutting up the orings). The retaining screw was tightened down and then backed off 1/4 turn (to make sure the tube isnt squished)
-- This one MAY be related to the LPR issue where the front of the ram sleeve is being over pressurized causing the ram and valve to blow by.
Third leak: Front grip screw hole. I think the front grip screw was just a thread too long and caused a crack into the air chamber. Ideas on fixing THAT? I was thinking gooping some JBWeld on the bottom of the hole and shaving down the screw about a millimeter.
