    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi feder1100,

welcome to GSR. Sorry mate but I can't answer much of the above. Partly because I'm not too sure what some of it means (i.e "wash out rings and dryed out valve seals"), but mostly because I don't know an easy answer that can be typed out in less than a couple of thousand words. Lol.

Your best bet really is to bite the bullet and use the search function (top of page). Type in something like "new ring and valve installation" and try your luck. Try other different but simple descriptions and peruse the threads. Usually reading the first post or two in each thread is enough to see whether it is what you are looking for.

There have been a number of people who have posted threads about their rebuilds that would do the job for you but I don't know where they are now, so unless you get real lucky real soon, someone needs to do a search.

Good luck. :)
