What do you mean it's not done yet? - and you are doing just what else to it right now, without a video *knuppel2*?IT'S NOT DONE!!!! but here's some pics of it assembled. It's being run in on air in one direction right now...
When the reversing lever is at one end...it works pretty well. But at the other end it's as if both ports are getting air at the same time. Turning the flywheel gives resistance.

Step 2: In progress. Was working on it and it suddenly started having that same binding issue at the far end of a stroke. Took the cylinder cover off. Rats...piston is unthreading itself...effectively lengthening the piston/rod until it bangs into the cylinder cover. I'm thinking super glue. Wouldn't I still be able to remove the piston? Easier than Loctite? That's all I got. Well...Elmer's White...some gum...spit?
Step 3: There WILL be video.
Step 4: Awwwwww maaaaan!
