Yea I do have something like that at home.Do you have a 'kiddie pool'?
Need something big enough to hold a bit of the tire. Usually we 'dunk' them ~8" and spin them around to look for bubbles.
Yea, that was the only thing I did anything to my tires recently. Caps are fine tho. (I actually replaced only the valve stem sleeves, and reused my previous caps.) Some of my previous sleeves were a bit difficult to remove right away, so I ended up pulling the stem itself quite a bit, but I don't recall doing that on that particular tire.This might sound strange but you went from buying valve stem caps to a low pressure tire a few days later. Nothing funky on the inside of the cap? Just a thought. It seems far-fetched even to me but...
Probably not as bad as putting engine parts in the dishwasher. lolIf not, I was thinking about doing something like.. this..
Pretty sure my wife will freak out..
No, not yet.. Currently working 6 days a wk, and being a bit lazy b/c of it.. (Hence, my active award is taken by Varnell, and now it's yours haha.) Hopefully being able to inspect it this wkend.End up resolving it?
And I don't know if I have said it already but that is a clean car bud. Props to you.
Sounds like you've done it before. lolProbably not as bad as putting engine parts in the dishwasher. lol
I can't be sure about that haha.lol, just run the dishwasher empty when the parts are done, ****'l be fine...I think...
Inspected my tire for a puncture.
So, it was the tire valve core.. Funny thing was, it stopped bubbling, when I moved around the stem in a certain direction.
While I was there, took a look at the tire valve core to see how it looks like. It seems like the top part is a twist-off. Maybe I can tighten the core to see if it will stop leaking.
Yeah, hopefully it will be fixed by tightening the core. I just need the right tool to tighten it up tho. Idt it was the cap, since I've had these caps for a long time w/ no prob 'till this. I guess I may have yanked it off too hard, and loosened the core, when I renewed the stem sleeves. I need a miniature pliers or something. Time to dig up my wife's craft tool box. lolGlad you found this! Glad it will be cheap. Maybe the other caps offered a better seal and changing them over caused this? Who knows. Doesn't matter. It will be fixed.
