Ohhh Nooo Spaghetti ooooo’s Expand So the 1mm restriction could’ve been causing issues? Shall I bore it out?

TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 3y 11m Posted 10/08/21 06:50 AM Author Share Posted 10/08/21 06:50 AM Wow, looks good. So to change the flapper you grind it off and weld the new one on?

TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 3y 11m Posted 11/08/21 10:32 PM Author Share Posted 11/08/21 10:32 PM Think I need to get the larger flapper, I ground it out slightly too large on one spot. Looked ok, then I shone a light through and can see light coming out in one section. Tested with feeler gauge and its about 0.2 - 0.25mm gap on about 10mm of the circumference. Guessing this will affect spool up if its not fully sealed. Thinking I need to get the 37mm flapper now.

That may be a little too large of a gap to not worry about. You may as well get a flapper and take it out to the max while you have it off. Leave a 1mm seat like me. Cost you all of $30-60 depending on where you get it from eBay.

TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 3y 11m Posted 12/08/21 10:15 AM Author Share Posted 12/08/21 10:15 AM Yep ordered one today. Paid a bit more than that though through mtq. Just wanted to get it tomorrow so I can get it sorted over the weekend!

Expand I’m just about giving up on this and looking at buying a new housing. Carefully ground off the old flapper, put the new 37mm flapper in and it catches on the side of the housing? It’s too big.
