    Just fully rebuilt my petcock and this time I got everything right. Can you believe it? I always botch petcocks.
    My lever is really tight now. I know tight is good with the petcock, but is there something I should have smeared on the lever o-ring to make it move easier? Or is it fine the way it is?

    Thanks, chacal. I didn't use anything. The old rings and gaskets were shot, completely on this thing. I'll bet I don't have a leaky pet-c now. Haha.
