HH,

I actually had Fred Kanter contact me a while back and we were and still are comparing findings on failures.

One thing we have both seen (Ill try to put this as delicately as I can not to step on toes)recent rebuild failures that has been sent in from a well known source, has had vent holes plugged with RTV Silicone.

Fred states he has been getting several of these sent in to Kanter for rework. I have only seen two, One reservoir vent plugged full and one too much on the Can and it had made a hardened ring inside the top of the piston can not allowing the piston to return to the top to get that 1/4 throw for the compensator to open.

That being said, I do not personally feel these are the root issues that are causing problems. I Hope people take advantage of Fred's offering so we can build some data for everyone.
