• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I recently picked up a Christen 803 Air/Oil seperator. The unit is clean and looked barely used internally with an inspection camera.

The one exception is that there is some minor pitting on the ball at the top of the unit. This doesn't seem to affect the sealing of the ball.

Is this normal for the Christen units or cause for either fixing or not using it? Are there any ways to polish the ball in place?
