Curtis stopped selling the seals. An O ring is not an acceptablereplacement. Best to pitch the curtis and get a safe-air valve. It is abetter design. I will save the curtis valve caused plane crash story foranother day.Chris Bobka----- Original Message -----

The Curtis valve doesn't use an O-ring. It uses a special D-ring that Curtiswill not sell.----- Original Message -----

could it be from excess lead deposits? from what I have allways been told-avgashas more lead than the old premium or ethyl had.maybe lead buildup on the stemsor carbon if there is some oil going by the guides? I know when I was usingMarvel in my Piper engine it was on advice from an aircraft mechanic becauseof the lack of lead in cargas.but the avgas should give all the valve protectionyou'd need I'd think.have you looked into the ports to see if it is carbonbuildup?RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I've checked into covering the leading edge with brass and the short story is thatit is nearly a lost art.Quite difficult to do and maintain. Then there's balancing.The clear laminate is much easier.
