007p service help!

[h17och]

Just serviced my dumpy and when i removed the piston is was a little scored and the mating surfaces (where the seal is made at the bottom of the piston) was all pitted !?! the piston and the dumpy casing :(

Is this normal?? :shrug: :confused:

Also i carried on with the service and replaced the dumpy to my car and it now leeks untill the pressure builds up!?! HELP!! :cry:

Do i rub the scored part on the casing down with some 2000 or leave it to bed in? :shrug:

;) Cheers ;)

what did you service it with?the forge kit comes with a new piston iirc.
all that was pitted on mine was the spring and where it met the piston,everything was still smooth,was there any grease in yours when you stripped it ?

[h17och]

yea, but it was all clean grease! i bought it off of ebay second hand!

i used a forge kit to service it!

foreign debris got inside perhaps
maybe possible to polish it out with wet n dry
