    Greasing the springs in an RT Valve

    Hello, everyone.

    With my Level 10 on it's way, I figure it's time to strip down the valve in my old RT and give it a good cleaning. I'm fine with most of the valve assembly, but I have a question about grease/lube for the two springs in the rear, which I believe are the regulator springs.

    What do you recommend for lubricating these springs after I have cleaned them up ? I usually use a bit of ACI lube on the o-rings and smaller parts, and don't have any complaints about it. I just wonder if that is also sufficient for these two springs, or if I need something a little heavier.

    Thanks,
    Stuart.

    Any grease will work fine. It's only there to prevent the springs from rusting. I used some high temp bearing grease on mine. You can use white lithium too if you wanted.
