Hey guys,

The o-ring inside of the tank is not 100% mandatory. I have had success with it and then when I lost the o-ring I had success without it.  ;D
I've found that applying medium or thick CA on the outside of the threads and then tightening the nut works well for hundreds of flights. Let the CA cure fully before testing the seal. I have not tried Silicone yet but it should be impervious to nitro fuels. As Mdu6 suggested, Goop will probably work fine as well.

The one-way inside of the clutch......Cleaning the grease out is mandatory if you are flying in temps below 50F. The only reason the grease is present is because the bearing supplier is using it to prevent rust. I've seen this happen with one-way clutch bearings for a very long time. Grease can prohibit the rollers from contracting correctly. Also DO NOT use an Align starter!! You will destroy everything from the start shaft, one-way, connecting rod, wrist pin, and rear bearing. Here is a funny video shared by a Team Synergy UK.
