Even running on air without rings you should always use some lubrication, ....running on air, I just use normal steam cylinder oil... Its heavy weight offers good mechanical protection while air testing

Re: USPS is a mess...
The post office definitely needs a little competition....it's ironic, how the govt can break up a business they see as an unfare monopoly, yet, they can run a monopoly like the post office

Re: Ever get teased for being a live steamer?
