RE: OST-026: "My White Hatch"
The head is back from Loynings...

They REALLY do a nice job.


That surface is good enough to read in its reflection... no guessing whose product that is.

so with the head back, I prepare to get chamber volumes....

I set up the burette...

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - RE: OST-026: "My W..."]

grease (used as sealant) the valve seat... (notice that 30 degree back cut?)


take my first read.... and it moves..... Confused

WHAT... it moves?? Huh

not really... what is moving is the fluid in the burette... even after closing the valve, fluid continues to weep out Sad

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - RE: OST-026: "My W..."]

the spicket is cracked... when you slip the valve into it, the crack (pointed out by the arrow) spreads and leaks...... Sad

I bought this nearly 5 years ago... paid about $120... I went back to the place I purchased it from... the spicket isn't available separately not only that, but my local dealer no longer stocks it so its a week out

Sooooo, I go online... and viola... a new burette is on its way, should be here by Tuesday... saved about $80 bucks too.


Equipment failure is annoying



more to come..... Hurray!

You can |Sad .... OR you can ask for help!!!
