L48 TLB boom sags when running.

I think you are getting 3X more leakage in the latest round of testsxwhich is getting close to "abnormal" . Sort of border line but I doubt there is much you could reasonably do to reduce the rate.i would not be rushing to tear things apart or throw money at it.

But do we know exactly the source of the leak down? It isn’t good now and it may get worse over time, then he will be back to square one.

Early on we went over the possible sources of leakage and how to measure cylinder versus valve. If its the valve the price to fix a nuisance leak gets pretty salty.

I believe that he didn’t try capping a cylinder port in order to test it. I want to do that on mine when I get a chance. After pricing the imported valves it is no wonder that Kubota wants to dodge their responsibility.

I have not tried capping a cylinder port.
The reason being, that I am likely not going to throw any meaningful amount of money at this issue.

We all have a little boom sag when we get older. Its to be expected!
