So, I got the gearbox apart and found a few things.
1: The teeth on the bottom of the piston were stripped away spreading shavings all over the gearbox. Why would that happen and how can I prevent it from occuring in the future? Is there a good aftermarket upgrade that I should be looking at for replacing the piston?
2: The seal between the piston head and the aluminum cylinder no longer forms a seal. Is that likely the o-rings or is something out of spec?
3: My big worry when putting this puppy back together is making sure the shims are correct. Is there a good guide that somebody could point me to for this?
All the best
Randy
