Help with band and losing my upper egg

bdmoody · May 2018

I need some assistance. I have lost 2 upper egg half’s in 2 weeks. I tightened the band and I still lost it again tonight. Very frustrating. Do I need the new style band. Am I am not tightening it enough?

Any help is appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong.

Thanks

Must not be tight enough. Tighten the band bolts until they bend/deform slightly. It’s a bit unnerving at first, but you won’t brwK the lid. You should be able to visibly see the bolt bend due to tightening. Sorry for you.

Well I hope someone caught them each time before they managed to get too far.

How are you losing it? Is there a crazy rabid squirrel that is stealing your dome?

And I thought it was 13.56Nm......go figure.

Torque wrench is your friend, regardless of the units used. 120 inch pounds is specified in the manuals (for MBGE).think it is the same for all.

Like, the top half is just falling off on the ground? That's hilarious.
