To re-install the gas valve and push rod:
1. assemble the gas valve onto the pushrod. This will aid in assembly.
2. Slide the push rod and valve back through the gas block until the valve flange contacts the gas block.
3. rotate the valve clockwise until the flange contacts the detent on the lower right corner of the gas block, depress the
detent and rotate the valve clockwise again until it is the “normal” operating position.
4. check valve rotation from “normal” to “adverse”. The valve should rotate freely and not be restricted in anyway.
