The viton O-rings strokery thing is new to me. Could somebody please update me? Lee --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: "G.

Date: Thu, 04 Dec 1997 20:45:46 -0500 Message-ID: <34875CCA.2A50@sa*.ne*> References: <19971204.145151.5399.0.TwinDs@ju*.co*> 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. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
