Tune Up

[Jas]

I have owned my angel for about 6 months(Bought used) and just recently got an angel tool kit. So what should I do for cleaning/tuning of LPR, Ram stroke, etc. (explanations would be great)

And also have a new bolt on the way should I adjust the ram stroke when I get that?

Thanks

LPR:
You should remove this to get to the Valve. You want check the Exhaust Valve seals. You want to also check the Exhast Valve stem. After you have checked, them grease them. Next, check the LPR seals. After you have checked, them grease them as well. Once you have completed that, grease the LPR Piston seal, and put it back in. Check the LPR Pressure. The LPR Pressure should be between 85-90psi. Too low, add a shim. If it is too high, remove a shim. (Set the velocity first before LPR adjustments)

Ram Adjustment:
Remove the Ram. Check the Ram seals to see if they need to be replaced. When put back in, lightly grease the seals.

You want to make sure that the bolt is hitting the back of the hammer. When closing the breech block you should hear a "click". Rotate the Ram clockwise until slight resistance is felt when opening the breech block. If rotated too far, the breech block will not open, so rotate it counterclockwise and repeat the steps. (The Ram should always be adjusted clockwise)

Snap Ring:
After you adjust the Ram, you will need to adjust your Snap Ring. Turn the Snap Ring nut clockwise until the gun ceases fire. Then rotate the allen key counterclockwise 1/2 - 3/4 of a turn. Make sure that the gun fires.

Mini-Reg:
You will need c-clip (Snap Ring pliers) pliers to remove the c-clip. Once you have done that, kind of tap it on a hard surface. When everything comes out, you will need to clean it. Lightly grease the Piston Seal. If greased to much, dust and debris will attract more.

If you need specific directions on removing parts, and diagrams, refer to your Angel LCD Manual.

Use the Ram Assembly Tool. It is a cyclinder with two "tits" sticking out the end. (No, not actual tits)
