Hey folks,

I'm rebuilding a V3 gearbox and am going for proper AOE to make it as nice of a build as possible.

I added a fairly thick sorbo+neo pad to the cylinder head and now my piston is sitting fairly far back. So much so that the first tooth on the sector gear is engaging the 2nd tooth on the piston rack (2nd tooth after the gap) at the 12 o'clock position. I'm using the an SHS 14 tooth piston.

If I remove part/all of the 2nd tooth I will get proper engagement, but it will be beyond the 12 o'clock position for the sector gear. Is that ok, or should I try and smaller sorbo? I'm still getting full contact with the first tooth on the sector gear.

If it's ok, then will the piston and piston head being so much further back affect my air volume significantly? It's a full size cylinder with no windows.

This is for a full size AK with a 455mm inner barrel, so I'd like to keep as much air volume as possible as this is an outdoor field build.

Thanks for your time!
