angel leak

[darksentient]

i have a small leak coming from inside the exhaust valve on my a4. inside as in next to the soft face bolt. most people have told me that it just needs to settle in, but i have shot over 2k shots from it and it just started leaking recently. suggestions? perhaps regreasing the exhaust valve with love grease? i'm out of ideas...i wish i was a tech.

either your valve guide o ring or the valve itself (if the leak is coming through the hole under the breech and not towards the ram) possibly a bit of dirt causing the valve not to seal of the valve may by damaged drop it in to a tech wont cost an arm and a leg so dont worry

(wish I wasnt an angel tech )

Check out www.angel-owners.com and look in the A4 section. You could always post this question in there and someone will answer you pretty quick.

try a drop of lurve juice on the exhaust seal,when did you last clean/oil the marker,2/3 drops in your mini reg every other tourney helps
if that does not work send it to matt(mgj20002 uk) or tom allen on here,good,quick and cheap service

california is pretty nice. lots of pretty girls with not lots of clothes on.

yeah, i tried dropping some love juice in there and it doesn't leak for like a couple shots, then that dreadful sound comes back in the breech. perhaps i need love grease? also, i read somewhere that vasoline is good to use there a long time ago, but the manual specifically says not to use that. can someone clear that up for me?

NEVER use vasoline, or any petroleum based oils, as they will attack the seals and o-rings.

ONLY use silicone based oils and greases.


Are you sure the leak is from the exhaust valve, it may be the ram. Gas it up and open the breech, when the leak is present press the hammer back into the ram, you may find the leak there.
