El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,019 Member For: 8y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 18/04/20 09:21 AM Share Posted 18/04/20 09:21 AM Thanks guys. No, didn't lube although the part I'm thinking is leaking was pre-assembled. Re thread sealant, I thought that wasn't required on AN fittings?Having a bit more of a look into it, yes I've definitely fluffed it by not removing the riser. Thread into the core is 7/16 which is what the supplied adaptor was. However that fitting doesn't want to start into the core (only trying by hand - a stripped oil feed thread in my core will make.my day worse not better). I'm going to play it safe and assume I've wrecked the adaptor thread by screwing it into the riser and grab a new adaptor.Still doesn't solve the location of the leak though. Maybe though if that adaptor to riser joint was leaking, under pressure it is running up the hose a bit and concealing where the actual leak is? I'll start with a.new 7/16 to AN -4 adaptor, install it properly and see where I am at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days in lieu at managers discretion. They spoke with me yesterday, as they're concerned about the hours I'm working...and so I asked them where I can cut back, coz they've reduced hours (to reduce costs) of some of the higher paid peeps, and they said "well if we took some of x work off you for a week could you get some of this other stuff done to get ahead"...but the problem is there's then no-one else to do that work, which comes through regularly each and needs doing reasonably quickly. So they were like "oh, hmm...yeah I guess that's not gonna work for the next month". Meanwhile, they're trying to tell me to be more billable...but work less. Sigh. I just wanna hibernate for a couple of weeks and just play guitar and go cycling and watch tv. Edited 01/05/20 11:21 AM by .Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
