leak in the exhaust port

[jason_31]

i have a leak coming fro the hole which i beleive is the exhaust port....when i put my finger over the hold, it stops.... wierd, but i lubed it all up and still no dice, shot a few times still leaking, someone told me i should replace the exhaust valve, is this true?

Just the valve stem. It happens over time. There may be no visible damage but it's there.

thanks for the help, is their liek a STEP BY STEP picture thread anywhere of how to get to the area? because i read the manuel and i got a little confused

[bigfootimp]

not that i am aware of. what makes it so confusing is that on lcd's the lpr is in front of the exhaust valve. Here is what you do.

1. Remove the minireg

2. inside the asa or flash tank (as it is called) there is an allen bolt, remove that and the flash tank/ asa **make surethat you do not lose the flash tank seal

3. from there you have what the mannual calls the flash tank mannifold. It is pretty much a small aluminum plate held in by an allen bolt. Ramove that manifold as well and remember to keep track of those seals for the mannifold.

4. Once you have removed that you should see the lpr lock pin. This is what keeps the lpr in place. Remove the pin (this may require the use of some pliers)

5. Now you can take the end cap off of the marker (if you are looking at down the barrel it will be the end cap on the left) and once you have that off the lpr should slide out. It might take a little more than gravity so tap the marker into the palm of your hand. Make sure that if the assembly comes apart that you put the springs back in the proper order which should be )()( The stem should come out behind that lpr along with the valve spring.

6. Replace stem and reassemble.

Hope this helps

and when you put the new one in it may still leak...mine took several hundered shots to get nice and broken in and completely stop leaking.
