I want to put in a rubber Corteco into one of my old cases. But it seems it's stubborn.


It doesn't line up flush with the case

No matter how I whack it with a large washer I can't get it flat at 2 o'clock it just sticks out.

If you take it out it will be trash. I doubt it tore as it went in. Most likely fine. If it doesn't rub on the crank, run it.

Bigger concern is those casings have had a hard life. If they pass a pressure test first time, it's your lucky day.

I'd bin it, and fit a viton seal instead. What with all the ethanol I'll be dealing with in its lifetime.
