A while ago I was going through all my gear and giving everything a thorough cleaning for the season. I had never taken apart my X-valve regulator so I thought I would check it out. When I disasembled the reg the two springs had a lot of brown, sticky grease all over them. Also the reg nut threads had silver stuff on it which I assume is anti-seize. I want to make sure everything in my valve is clean and in perfect condition so that I can get my mag consistent again. What should I look for when inspecting the internals? What are the common parts/o-rings to replace each year? Should I clean off all that brown grease on the springs or is that supposed to be there? If so what sort of grease is it? Should I apply fresh anti-sease to the threads? I know this is a lot of questions but I just want to make sure my mag operates flawlessly. I'm hoping there is an x-valve/regulator expert out there who can help me out. Thanks.
