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. ------------- For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know, |

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