The H2s that I have done have the same size lines, the H1s have a smaller line on the left, there is a bit of a "procedure" to check and set the oil line check valves. Like what was said the early ones can be set but the later lines can't be taken apart.

I have done about 50 + check valves now. I am beginning to figure it out.

Yes, you can blow thru them to check them out but remember you must test by blowing both directions.... I was never very good using that technique.

I meant by mouth... compressed air is a big no,no!

I was told by a helpful member that you can suck the end of the line and right about the time your ears POP, it should open. He was absolutely correct! :lol:
