ok im installing my expansion chamber kit and everything is going just fine. no springs or sh!t like that flew anywhere. so i get the valve out of the gun and lay the rest of it all lined up. then i unskrew the original hose connected to the valve and see all this crap in the thread. so ok the instructions say to clean it out thats fine so i get all the sh!t out of there and continue. then i try to do the next step skrewing that thing in (sorry i dont know what its called (noob)) and it wont go. so i pull it out and the threads are all f ed up. so now i really dont think it will work

i have absolutly no clue what to do and my dad thinks it was skrewed up originaly help pleazzzzzze

wat do u mean it wont screw in...like it doesnt catch the thread? is it to big? are the threads stripped?

You gotta be careful with the powertube...the metal it is made out of is very soft...and can easily be stripped....if worse comes to wrose...just buy another power tube.

yea i kind of skrewed up the thread skrewing it in but reshaped the thread pattern and got it in eventually but now i need to fix a leak in my drop forward and the one part of the exp. chamber leaks a little bit. i guess i didnt to all that bad for my first time trying something like this but i think im still going to go get it checked at this one pb store where i know the guy that owns it pretty well.

I used locktite on all the threads on my expansion chamber except where the chamber screws into the verical adapter. Sometimes mine leaks but only when i put in a tank thats really low on Co2, its weird like that cuy on filled tanks it doesnt.
