Dean - I was at the BSAC conference, and the Poseiden guy there told me it is the viton o-ring under the hp seat that is too hard, causing all of the problems. I told him my pistons were mutillated when viewed under a microscope, but he stuck to the viton story. I did not know my o-rings were viton, as only a stroke would use viton orings, but he tells me the newer regs ( the only ones I have problems with) have viton o-rings. Keep in mind hat this is what he told me, but I am too lazy to go down to my gear and look at them. I put old parts in the new regs ( but did not change the o-ring), so we will see. Also, one of the WKPP guys is manufacturing the o-rings and seats to our specs, so again , we will have to see. Over the weekend I will look inside the regs again. For now, I am just throwing this out without any comment, as it sounds like bull. I would like to believe it, and it certainly is possible, but then I would have to admit to being a stroke and having viton o-rings, even though I did not know they were there, if indeed they are there. I thought I knew what viton looked like, and I would have thought I would have spotted a hard o-ring and changed it out of habit, since I have bags and bags of poseiden rebuild kits, but then I masde the mistake of thinking that the Scuba Pro orifice ring was too hard one time and replaced them only to have it not work at all. Either way, we will find out the problem and make the necessary changes to the parts - as per our usual .
