Hi Mate

I think thats what Nicky T has just pointed out on the Planet thread well he has called it the Exhaust valve/Valve Guide

I will have a look at this after christmas

i had this happen to me but on my old etek and I changed the exhaust valve and all rammer and bolt o-rings and it still leaked, so sent it for a tech and it turned out to be the rammer housing that was damaged and needed replacing, luckily it was still under warranty.

Remove the bolt while the marker is gassed. Put your finger into the Bolt Chamber and cover the port directly below where the bolt sits and block it off. If you still hear the same persistence of leak, it's the Valve. If your finger changes the leak signature, it's the No.9nbr70 O-Ring at the front of the Rammer. Just to second-check after you exclude the Rammer from the leak signature, put your finger down the barrel with the marker gassed and cover the smaller hole directly where the Valve assembly sits below. If that stops the leaks it will be the Valve. Otherwise, the leak is from somewhere else. You got that advice for free.
