Is it worth doing the Sorbo Pad?

it looks like a short stroke mod. Which end of the piston did you remove teeth? (if you did remove any) Take some pics of the internals so we can help you better.

I also hate my stupid Anti-Reversal Latch, should I get that Modify Anti-Reversal Latch V2 Mr Amos.

... "moving a bit" wouldn't effect it..

Care to explain exactly HOW you checked (and modified) the AOE?

ARL depends what gears you've got.. I'd suggest the Prometheus one, it sits nicely in CA and G&P Gearboxes and has a very strong spring.

MY AOE! I check by guessing

Also my teeth!

NOW HALP ME AMOS

HKGhost · December 7th, 2010, 17:08

you need a few shims to get the piston back a bit farther. Are you missing any teeth on the sector gear? I'm trying to figure out why the piston isn't going all the way back.

cooney · December 7th, 2010, 17:10

No teeth missing, and shims wat on piston durp?

HKGhost · December 7th, 2010, 17:12

yup. AOE is done by shimming the piston head so the piston sits back a bit to align the teeth of the gear and piston so they mesh perfectly.

I don't understand

, sorry my brain is not very smart and I do you mean putting shims under the piston head?

HKGhost · December 7th, 2010, 17:16

you need to add shims between the piston head and piston. You can make them with just plastic you get from packages. Here's a pic that doesn't have the AOE mod. And you can see that the teeth don't make a full contact with each other. http://img75.imageshack.us/f/100_2828Medium.jpg/

Yay the shim thingy worked!

Thanks everybody. HKGhost TY

Damn saw this too late.

Well more input:

The REASON that it happened is that you removed too much material from your 2nd tooth (in addition to everything being out of alignment)

When shaving the 2nd tooth you want to do a LITTLE BIT then test, then a little bit, then test.

What if your piston doesn't come with a second tooth?
