Unrelated, but sounds like your compressor has a leak on the HP side?

Little bit of extra info I had tucked away - this came from Chris at HOG:
"The 5th port needs to be torqued to 160 inch pounds of force"
Hope that helps someone!

Hmmm. If you're talking about the DIN connector that screws into the first stage, then it would be something that anyone who's taken the HOG reg repair class with Dive Right In Scuba should know. That person should also know the recommended tool to use for the job (boxed end adapter + torque wrench?).
FYI, other manufacturers specify 12-22 ft-lbs. as the torque spec. for the DIN connector on their first stages.

Garth, great videos. I enjoyed watching them.
Was just wondering, have you come around to rebuilding and filming your second stages?
Looking forward to it.
Cheers.

Yes. I rebuilt my second stages the other week and filmed it. I will have to get the video together after the new year. 
Stay tuned. I might do a second thread titled second stage disassembly and reassembly.
