I purchased a KX3 here on the EE. When I installed it it kept timing at 2 and 8 o clock. I called Noveske for a washer and when I got it, it now times at 3 and 9 BUT it's upside down. Any advise for those of you who have one?
ETA: The pig is upside down hand tightened. I am using a DD lite rail and can't get a wrench to tighten the KX3 because it doesn't fit through the rail. Basically I have to install the KX3 with the rail on. Shouldn't it time correctly even when hand tightened? |
| The washer that it comes with is a crush washer. That means you tighten "crush", untighten, tighten "crush", untighten, tighten "crush". You keep doing that until that washer is crushed to your index. The KX3 is recommended 30lb torque. In your case, remove the hand guard, proceed with crush indexing the KX3, remove the KX3, replace hand guard, install properly indexed KX3 with red loctite and tighten the best you can. |

This worked...Thanks for the help!!!! Pain in the ass, but it worked! Might have to get a different rail....screwing and unscrewing 6 bolts ....not fun whatsoever! Any suggestions on what rail has a wide enough inner diameter to accomodate a KX3? |
