Just No need to cake it and leave it, the swelling occurs naturally, so just lube it up and put it together as normal.Wicked,i'l get on that,i was laways cautious of taking autocockers apart but when i took the Protege to bits it was a cinch,hardly anything to it,but lots of o rings ! After i've caked everything in dow is it worth leaving it for a few hours to let the o rings expand before trying to gas it up? When do i'l slowly wind on the oops so i dont crank it on too much. The guy i traded it with said it never leaked beofre but hasnt been used for a bit,i bet the o rings just need to swell and they will seal,its dry as a bone in there man.
I'm need to find a place that sells the o ring kits,i think lum or gassy posted up a link for an e bay shop called something earth or earth something,cant find the link when i've tried to back track.
i'l get searching,then again the manual lists the o ring sizes,i might see if i can just buy loads of assorted o rings over here.
Thanks for your help Bon
As for the ammount to use, it isnt a tubful per oring obviously, its more along the lines of, enough to be visible, but not enough so that when you insert it into a place it comes oozing out.... imagine putting a damp cloth accross a window and the smudge it leaves thats what your trying to achive on the oring.
Something youll get the feel for as you maintain it.
