Fixing compression: o-ring kit and Dowe 55 or rubber conditioner
The enemy: Teflon tape.
I'm sure you have heard of Teflon tape mods to fix cylinder head leaks on a
V2 gearbox or air nozzle leaks on a bar 10 and all the random theories
and "quick fixes" that you can do with a roll of Teflon tape on your
Airsoft gun. The truth is Teflon tape dissolves in most lubricants, has a
very low tensile strength, is designed for low pressure water applications, and easily goes every where in a working gearbox it shouldn't.
I have opened more gearboxes than I could count that looked like an
Easter basket after there "mod" came off there cyl head and wrapped its
way around everything in a gearbox. Truth is this method is more
expensive that doing it right the first time.
If your cylinder head
leaks then replace the o-ring and lube with Dowe 55 or power steering
pump leak stop. Instant 5 year fix. Teflon will do one or two games
before it fails. A basic oring kit can cost $4.99 - $35.00 and saves you a lot
of cleaning and headache.
