I've paid the hydraulic 3 times to fix the leak. I've used factory o rings to repair it twice, The insanity has to stop. Doing the same thing 5 times and getting the same results has to be the definition of insanity. I'm trying something different.
Hydraulic shop strongly advised against using any glues to fill in holes in rod saying the glue will fall out under 2000 psi and then cause problems else where. Well my rod looks good, I'm thinking my problem may be at the end of cylinder where after running a brake home it appears to have some scratches. I'm filling the scratches with devcon, a liquid steel someone on YT recommended. If the glue falls off, good chance it will be pushed out the end of the cylinder where it appears to be leaking from.
Going to let the devcon dry for 24 hours before I sand it smooth with brake hone. The pic shows the devcon. Only going to replace only the one O ring that I suspect is leaking. I hope the insanity stops by trying something different. Also think because the two O rings on the piston were damaged when I removed it from cylinder and somehow the scratched on the inside of they cylinder was the reason. Forgot to say how much fun it was getting the new o rings on the piston. They would roll 90 when installed. Then I had to use two screw drivers to twist it back properly, what a pain.
Post back if it leaks. Then, I might looking for a new cylinder. geo.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
