Cheeky vimto Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I've bought some sorbo for the cylinder head. It already had a plastic cap glued to the end to protect it from the piston. My question is: do I glue it to the pad on the cylinder head or pick the pad off and glue it directly to the CH?
Supporters Samurai Posted August 20, 2014 Supporters Posted August 20, 2014 You can do both. But be aware that you will need to check the AOE (angle of engagement) after it or it can strip the piston's teeth or break the gears.
Cheeky vimto Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Most people say cut the 2nd tooth off?
Supporters jcheeseright Posted August 20, 2014 Supporters Posted August 20, 2014 why not just check it and remove the material that actually needs to be removed, rather than just do 'what most people say'. NH Shooter 1

Cheeky vimto Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Took the 2nd and 3rd tooth off. Might need to take the 4th off yet but when firing I can't hear any grinding. If it does atleast it'll only be the plastic piston gears that go.

I found I actually needed to trim the pad down a little to get the AoE right.
Cheeky vimto Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 I just dry fired it last night and it sounded alright. I'll shoot some BBs through it tonight and see how she performs.
