David,
Me thinks you are now the expert on the Microphor.
Seriously my experience mirrors yours. I have not had luck rebuilding old sequencing valves. The behavior would be exactly the same as you described. The toilet would jam open, or jam on the water fill segment of the cycle. After a guest, unaware of the flaky behavior of the toilet, caused a minor flood, I bit the bullet and replaced both valves with new. Pricey, but I didn’t want to go through that again.
Like you, I became very practiced at getting them apart. I tried different lubes, o rings from different sources, and playing with air pressures. All with unreliable results.
Thank you for posting, perhaps this will help Adrian.
