I don't know all about it. I plan on making a coax but am lost... In the link you gave me does it talk about this?

i don't believe i ever gave you a link, but I'm sure if you look around for diagrams, you will figure it out. I believe you are smart enough to do so.

yeah, theres two methods, the leak method and the 2 fill up method, either one works. but you dont usually have air leak all around the piston, you just have air leak through a hole in the piston, but either way, it'll work.

I think you just had one of those if you dont know how to do it then you shouldnt be making these in the first place moments
i dont mean to insult your intellegence Im just saying....

I think you misunderstood or I am being an idiot agin.. When I said exhaust I meant the wholes for the air to leak into the chamber.. Wouldn't those wholes be too big and would let the air "flow" rather then leak.

Do you mean equilization holes in the piston?
if you do you dont need them unless the piston has o-rings because it wont be anywhere near airtight without orings and the air will freely fill the chamber.

I can't understand your question.. sorry but.. I am a flaming idiot.. I understand almost all of the steps on making it, just not the park of "leaking air" and o-rings..

okay just make a piston valve without orings or equalization holes and you should be fine.
