This video is still helpful 5 years later. Thanks dude.

Even in 2020, this is still very helpful

now that's the way to respectfully post an opposing view point! thanks! sometimes i think lubricant on the cylinder head is alright. but i have had some where it is so tight it just pushes all the lubricant out anyway. depends on your preference. i have never had a problem with dry cylinder head o-rings.

thanks mate, i’ve been searching for quite a while on how to do this

I have actually had nothing but problems with teflon grease in the past. Every time I used it my bevel gear on the top side would always wear it off in only a few thousand rotations of the bevel itself and then start screeching very loudly. Using it on the cylinder however, was never a problem, and I also use it on my piston racks too. For gears though, I do recommend white lithium because it really works well on metal-to-metal contact, as well as metal-to-plastic for those who run nylon bushings. Ever since moving to WL I haven't really had issues with bevel screeching.

Thank you for this video! I am trying to build an M-4 from second hand parts, and I am new and greeny on this! This vidoe will be 200% helpfull!

THANK YOU , for all that you are doing to help others . AND ME

Dude i love your videos!

Great video! My first airsoft rifle is arriving tomorrow... nice to kno what im tearing into! But I agree. Im a plumber by trade and moving or not, o rings are designed to be lubed. This makes an o ring live a lot longer.

Thanks for your videos buddy, I really appreciate the time you take. They have taught me alot and given me confidence to work on my aegs. A quick question for you my friend if you have time: do I lubricate the spring and spring Guide?

I use thick die electric grease for the trigger contacts and the top of the gearbox. I use white lithium for the gears (still looking for a cheap alternative).

This video is still helpful 2024. It's standing the test of time

just use super lube synthetic grease for everything. its petroleum free and it has Teflon which is great for moving parts

4:20 He speaks of W33d nah good video man that part made me laugh my ass off

nice video very informative

I used silkolene red synthetic grease aka rubber grease. It's safe to rubber and plastic, has great lubricating properties and a lot cheaper then 'airsoft' grease costing stupid money for tiny pots.

Thanks i Needed This Becuase I Am Starting To Do Upgrades

yeah, i think i can get around to that eventually. just have to find a gun to do it to.

for the piston head o ring grease it first and then stretch it over a cylinder and heat it up with a lighter. the heat will make the o ring larger which makes a better seal.

Thanks dude. Pretty common sense for me but just wanted to be sure haha. Cheers.

there will only be swirls if the gears are shimmed to close and are touching

also i find q-tips to be very effective and time saving for a lube.

In the gate titan mosfet installation video they used like an oil instead of Greece is that ok?

You talked about that when you buy one of the cheap JG guns the first thing you should to it "regrease" your gun! Is this the only part you were talking about or is there more places you should libricate on a new gun? Thank you for all the tips! Are just getting in to this and your videos have been alot of help! :)

Is it possible you could make a video about proper "angle of engagement" between your sector gear and piston? That would be awesome :).

what happens if I over lube it with white grease? how can I know if I am over lubing?

we cut springs all the time at the local shop with problems. much easier to do that than grind down steel teeth.

exactly. most guns we get in at the shop are stock guns owned by kids wanting an indoor legal speed. most stock guns some with single metal tooth pistons.

Do you Lube the tappet plate guide rails? bc that too is a moving part. also a Q tip works well for the air nozzle lube job

If I do not ever lube my gears will the gearbox sound whiney and grindy?mine sound weird and the fire rate is slow but it's only been like that ever since I took it apart(it is not the motor adjustment I already adjusted that I th doesn't fix anything) someone please respond I'd like to know if this is the issue

Some people say u shouldnt use grease on o-rings. Only silicone oil. What do you think about that? Im using the guarder teflon grease myself on everything..

u help me so much Thank you

I usually get a grease gun and use a full can and just put the tip down the nozzle and just fill the entire gearbox

either cut the spring or install a lower power one.

your way of applying the grease is great, allows pin point control... another way, maybe easier is using a brush. Not those pressed -handle small parts cleaning brushes you get at Harbor freight for a dollar per thousand (they shed the bristles way too easily) but a good hobby style brush from Michaels crafts or similar. The problem is not even how you apply the grease with a brush - it's finding a brush that won't shed the bristles! Leaving bristles in the grease you so painstakingly applied is not only annoying AF it is downright counter-productive.

I prefer "faster" lubricants like silicone spray for piston rails and I suggest putting your lubricant inside cylinder walls, not to the piston head.

Is that a Lonex piston head you have on the piston? If so, how do you like it? I know that sounds weird, but I don't want to buy one until I know how they work.

What cylinder was in the gearbox in the video because i have one and I'd like to have a specific brand in mind. Also note that my cylinder is identical if not exact as the one in the video.

I’m having a problem with the grease blowing through to the hop up sticking to BB grouping all over the place

hmmm...my figers and hands sting after airsoft lube has been in contact wiith them awhile. been considering using rubber surgical gloves when im doing airsoft maintainence.

to be honest, i rarely lubricate the tappet plate.

nice video man, good for all beginners, but you forgot the tappet plate!

Hi,I have exactly the same gearbox,i bought it from a friend.It worked properly when the friend was using it. But someday when i was shooting , it just got stuck. I have experience with repairing gearboxes,so i opened it.Turns out it was piece od a piston so I put in a new one.BUT! :D when I got everything back in place,I tried a shot but it got stuck in loaded/opened position.And it happening again and again,and i have no idea what could it be.Everything is corectly placed.Do You have any idea?

that is one i am not going to do. i don't personally have a need to cut any spring i own. what i recommend is that you cut off coil by coil until you get the desired fps.

Ok thanks...... do you have any idea how to drop it by about 50 fps??

Is the Motor oil( car ) usefull..?

hey astkilo23, on my sector gear the delay chip gets in they way and the tappet plate keeps bumping it. Any tips or suggestions?

How often should you do this?

Can u make a tip on how to cut a spring to lower ur fps??

How often should you lubricate

those are upwards of $110. i got these gear, bushings, shims, piston, and piston head on ebay for $60.

What's your take on glueing the bushings?

how often should you do something like this?

Just use super glue or silicon grease but do not use silicon oil. Grease will last a hell of a lot longer than the oil will. It will probably only your last a thousand rounds But Reese will last for maybe even a couple years. When adding lubricant to the teeth remember that some of the grease is going to transfer to other gears.

What mosfet is in this gun?

Can i use Guarder teflon grease for lubricate my bucking ? Btw, do you know km bucking ?

0:25 Tec-tit? :) Please don't show us that.

Can I use spray grease or no

Do you lube the bearings?

I got a new gun when do u think i should lube that

how often should i grease my gearbox?

Are KWA gearboxes compatible with most bodies?

get a new sector gear, remove the chip, or try a different tappet plate.

Hey astkilo23, what do you think of the supercore piston?

Aaaahh the beloved swiss-cheese-piston...

you only put lithium grease on the gears not the o ring. Personally i moved away from white lithium and i use super lube synthetic grease or tri flow synthetic grease

How often should this even be done? Every year good?

lol and what about bearings? The dont need begreased? xD

can i lubricate gearbox without open it?

Why didn't you buy seigetek gears!?! They don't brake, and if they have life time replacement.

Putting too much can acc fuck your gearbox and affect the performance drastically so you shouldn't ever apply too much

Does silicone spray work?

Do you have to use grease or can u just use silicone?

421 lmao its bad its bad

Can I use silicone spray on the gears

Should I grease my new gun?

what brand of gearbox is that

actually you should short stroke it.... dont just cut the spring.

RIP Airsplat

White lithium grease is good for the gears, not the O-rings

How often should I grease my gearbox : hours of play

What did you call the pad that was on the sylinder head? Something Pad" Is it for making the impact more quiet?

Will silicone OIL work?

Will butter work?

Can vaseline be used to lubricate?

I just use vaseline lol never had any problems with that

sorbo, or sorbothane.

Ahh yes, Siegeteks. great gears

no, they cannot fit in most guns.

...not!

also airsoft brand lubricants are rip offs. you pay 10 bucks for a TINY amount of grease.

yeah because its still gear teeth

seigeteks are still a better deal....

lol, lubing the nozzle is bad because all that lube is gonna get shot down your barrel.

I'm really glad he got rid of most of this intro.

grease me up women

ok dude i love your show and reviews and stuff but you need a new intro

flat head..... screwdriver xD

Lol . Its bad its really bad
