Perfect - Just what I needed for my machine.
Nice job! Made it easy to clean and install new partS.
very well done. going to do it with my silvia this weekend.
Best version I’ve seen so far. Showing how it’s done on a dirty machine helps
Great!!! I’m assuming the fully assembled backflush procedure is unnecessary after this. But I was wondering if there are any hidden crevices that backflush would get to. This is more serious than you think in my case… I’m resurrecting a rarely used, 15 year old V1 that has NEVER been serviced.
Backflushing is still needed to clean internal parts and 3-way valve. I also recommend backflushing every 60 shots.
Very nicely done! Thank you so much for the detailed breakdown.
