[QUOTE="Bud-Man, post: 172019, member: 20830"] JTT, No problem! Glad to be of assistance. Basically, yes you could fill it to the top. Although you would have a hell of a time getting the base valve assembly into the cartridge and it would make a terrible mess. If you look into the cartridge, you should see a step about 6" from the top. This is where the cartridge steps down to the diameter of the rebound piston. If you fill the oil until it is about 1/4-1/2" above this step, you should be fine. (This assumes that you have already pumped the damping rod several times to release any large air pockets under the rebound piston.) This will provide enough oil in the cartridge yet minimize the struggle to assemble (and the mess). You will still need to pump the damping rod about half way, 10 times to move any small air bubbles above the compression piston so they can be carried away with the excess oil. Now compress the damping rod fully and all the excess oil and air bubbles will pass through the relief. This last step is what actually sets the oil level or volume in the inner cartridge. One final thing: flip the cartridge assembly over for a few minutes and let the excess oil drain out so it wont mess up the oil level in the outer chamber. Hope this Helps. [/QUOTE]
