i ordered a new power tube after the old one stripped during an expansion upgrade so i put the new one in however now i can hear leaking in it... i think it may be the o ring... and that i need to oil it but i cant remove it because of the loctite what should i do?

 A) what did you actually use loctite on?

Your thought of an o ring is most likely right. I just installed a rufus dawg bolt which comes with it's own power tube and i had to put on a fresh o ring on the rear bolt to get the bolt to seat properly.

Remove it, and put some more loctite on it when you put it back on. Loctite merely makes it harder to remove, not impossible.

Oil your valve o-ring. Either that or your powertube could be cracked.
