Those of you who did the repair without removing the head. With the piston at top dead center,can the tap hit the piston?

It's possible but not likely. You can use a skinny dowel and have a helper watch it go up and down as you turn the motor by hand to avoid the piston being up.

Yes, But...........If you are careful you will not. It is very easy to do,if you are mechanically inclined.Why are you doing it with the piston at top dead center.?????

On a Neon 2 liter it definitely can. I would assume that most engines would be the same. When I was fixing mine, the tap hit the piston. I just had to bump the starter until I could see the piston was down in the bore. If I ever have to do this again, I'll know to check that first.

I guess we can adjust the power hammer on the top of piston head which is same as air pressure?

I you use a tail stock MT2 that will make it dificult to turn the tap into a chucked work peice and a live center in the tail stock to hold the tap while turning it with a wrench works beat for me.

I am not mechanically astute. Hopefully someone else can help you and I am going to be sure to check back for the answer. MayGod Bless You.

Hello cylinder and the piston has to do work on the engine block for the three quarters between without any problem, I did it that way and it worked fine, the bike left with too much force and displacement

Yes. You will want to remove the pushrods before pressurizing the cylinder, so that the valves will be closed. I would also bring each cylinder to the top dead center position and lock the crankshaft so that it won't turn. This is extra insurance just in case you loose air pressure in the cylinder for some reason, the valve(s) won't fall into the cylinder.

The only way I think you could do that is if you put a sacrificial piece of wood mounted to the piece to screw to the head stock and then cut it off. I would not recommend that though. Best to use the right tools, you always get better results.BTW, this is a great little lathe, I've used it for over a year now. No issues. First one shipped damaged, no issue with the return and shipment of another.

Mine did the same thing, I had to keep grinding down the head until is wasn't rubbing anymore. I don't recommend working the action with it rubbing because it can damage your gun.

What is the problem? Looking at the mechanism it is different than the normal cupping setup. There seems to be a a molded plastic piece glued or melted in place covering the sealing washer and red valve piece. Typically the red piece gets stuck. You move it manually up or down using little pressure to free it up. The assembly does not look like it can be removed.

I didn't use a torque wrench to install it. I just used the crush washer and made sure the alignment for the top holes was correct. I have this brake installed on 2 ARs and both of them had different amounts of force to align them. I have shot several hundred rounds through each of them and neither brake shows any signs of movement.These are LOUD though so make sure anyone with you doesn't stand to the side. Directly behind doesn't seem to be too bad but you can really feel and hear the concussion if you are a couple of feet to either side.Of course, hearing protection is critical with this brake installed.On my rifles the muzzle barely moves and I can stay on target easily for follow up shots.Enjoy,Rick I didn't use a torque wrench to install it.

The extension of the springs is limited to the distance of the pump jack, the piston in the jack hits it's top, that's it. Ken

Are you breaking the barrel and pushing it downward until it will go no further? It should lock the piston or cock it when the barrel gets to about a 45 degree angle to the stock of gun. If you are pushing it down that far and it's not locking the piston into place then the gun has a defect.

I would take it off and put it back on and see if it sits properly. Also (I dont know your skill level) make sure the washer is on correctly, there are two very distinct sides. You will LOVE the Brake by the way.... that concussion from this thing is a beast, and almost little to no climb

Yes, but a hole would have to be cut for the tap (which is the worst tap I've ever seen). Mine had to be replaced to something that didn't break apart every time you pulled the handle and sprayed beer all over the place.

The piston should have the removable top cap. This is the only way that you can install the ring. The ring is not metal. Along with the piston usually comes the ring and new cylinder, "o" rings, rod and sealed bearing all together as a kit. Hope this is some help, Gary

I know what your talking about! I haven't tried very hard to fix this.Im thinking along the lines of shimming it with really thin strips of metal,but I haven't tried this myself,Im also considering welding a bit ,then grinding it till it fits. Best of luck!

I'm not sure but I believe if you lower the motor manually that will force all the old hydraulic oil out of the cylinder and you will achieve your goal. I didn't worry about flushing mine it was near the water and so I was happy to just repair it, mine works great.
