Couple quick valve questions

[SBPA5]

Hello,

I was cleaning an old mag valve and took out the spring pack assembly and cleaned off all the grime that was on it.

Now, do i oil it or grease it before i put it back in the valve. I thought i heard someone say use grease, but its been awhile. (grease like a dow 33 or similar paintball oriented grease)



Also, how do i know if the bolt spring in the valve is worn out? I compared a spring from a old valve to a new replacement spring, and there was a difference in length between them.

Would a worn bolt spring create the issue of having to turn the velocity screw in excessively far to get it to a proper velocity?


Thanks for your time and wisdom

a light coat of any old grease will be fine. The spring needs to be longer than the bolt.
