I give the man a lot of credit for takeing the valve apart and repairing it> I am sure he understands the apparent dangers and is willing to take the chance. Where would this country be without chance takers? How about the guy that invented the gas valve he took apart. Was he right the first time? why are there two valves (redundant)? was it because they found out one may not be safe enough? If you are smart enough to know your limitations then you do not do things like take apart gas valves. If you feel you can than do so. I for one would be the guy that takes it apart, determines that I can or can not fix it and proceed from there
