    Hello I have a kohler 3386 and the flush valve gasket is shot. I'm about to tackle the job in a couple of hours. I will also change the fill valve while I am at it. In these two videos it seems like it is really hard to compress the gasket to get the flush valve back in. I'd rather not...

    Leak at toilet seal - source of stoppage?

    yeah, about 8 months ago I removed the toilet to take a look but didn't see anything however it was just a quick look and there could be something in the toilet's trap or a bit further down the drain that I couldn't see my plumber friend will stop by at the end of the week with his camera.
