Did you check the pin length?
If the seats were NOS....Original USD from the era there is a chance they are no good. The compound they were made from did not last long. If they are seats you just purchased from me they are reproductions and that can't be the issue.
Crown blocks that are scratched or have the O-ring and backup ring incorrect can be a problem as well. The white backup washer is a split ring with an angle cut to make it flat when pushed together.
From the balanced 2 stage seat info in the website store.
If you are installing this in a RAM or Trieste that has not previously used this seat you will need to purchase a new Conshelf pin and trim it to the correct length. The original RAM/Trieste pin is too short to work with the new seat. Conshelf pins are available in the store. I also recommend replacing the teflon backup washer(if your year has one) in the crown and the springs when replacing the high pressure seat.

Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB
