    I can imagine I made them worse.

    Tring to test them and these are my first Appion core tools since they went with only one oring.

    I'm having trouble with them leaking with movement and random times on a rise test.

    They might need some goop.

    Do you have old vcrts that are in need of rebuild? If so, just unthread the male flare end from the old one and install it on the new.

    I mis typed.

    I can't imagine I made them any worse.

    These valve hold better than my old valves.

    I have one that I can hiss.

    I reassembled the main o-ring with a little Nylog. Still looses vacuum at the slightest touch like working valves, gauge buttons and connections.

    Maybe it just takes time getting used to the single o-ring but so far I'm not liking this newer single o-ring design.

    Pretty, but I can't understand why you are taking all that time polishing them? Seems to me a mirror smooth surface would be harder to seal. Cylinder head ports I get, this I don't.

    All that time?
    If I wasn't bothering with the camera it might have taken all of three minutes

    Yesterday I grabbed a old VCRT.
    Pulled a small freezer to about 350 then something popped and ran up to 1500. Wasn't a typical rise from gas burping out of the oil.
    I have a feeling it was the tool cause I change to to one of the new tools and it went right down. By that time I had to put a fork in it and get it back on line.
