Title: Secondary Accelerating Well Tubes Loose
Post by: firebird_fast on July 15, 2013, 12:43:02 PM

Is there a good way to ensure the tubes stay in place?  They fells out during disassembly.  Thanks.

 Might try using a brass hammer and gently tap them back in.

Okay, I've seen a video where they used JB Weld to hold them in, but that seems like the weld material would just fall off after heating and cooling many times.

Red Loctite will keep them in place.  I stake them as well....Cliff
