Where is this "wheezing check valve" and what does it look like? How do I tell if mine is a wheezer?
My old style valve failed this week after less than 200 pellets fired. I replaced the two O-Rings but it still leaks slowly out the port / barrel. Hoping to have a replacement new style valve soon.

Yes, the P-3 has a complete different system to perform the same action the the check valve did. Now there is a spring that works on a small steel ball that doesn't resonate.

Thanks Scotty1. I contacted the factory and they said they are sending me one.
Where are the O-ring sizes listed for the one that goes inside the stainless steel top piece and the one on the valve, or could someone please post them here?

Thanks! Please see if they match what I found in the video. The ones I had on hand were close, but the originals were pretty deformed so I couldn't measure them. The one I put in the stainless balance piece was too big as it blocked the free movement of the spring. I don't have any on hand that are what the poster stated in his video, 7:45 right at the end. I will be ordering extras.
O-Rings for the valve and the stainless assist deal. OLD VALVE. Part #60 would be the same, part #55 might not be.
#60 Steel Balance tube O-ring is 5.5x1.5mm (Isn't the proper designation 1.5mmx5.5mm? Cross Section x Inner Diameter) I found some of these on theoringstore.com, Buna N 90 Duro for 15 cents
#55 Valve O-Ring is 4x1mm ( 1mmx4mm ) Not finding any of these in a 90 Duro, but the same place has them in Buna N 70 Duro for 7 cents. The old O-ring definitely was not N-90.

Just repaired a valve leak on my second P2P. I have a long-range Performance and a Compact Performance. The compact started dumping air due to valve leaking.
Rok was amazing in giving guidance. He said that he would send me a new valve & It’s on its way. However, me wanting to fix the problem immediately I decided to order the new valve from Spain and Airguns of Arizona. I ended up having two new valves on top of the one coming from RTI.
Just to make sure I put a bore scope to check the surface of the breach seal flange and it looked that it had some anodizing left on it. It is supposed to be smooth and polished. Airguns of Arizona and Rok said that it could benefit from polishing. How do you polish the breach flange in there? So, I asked Rok and he sent me a sketch of a tool for me to make on my lathe, and so I did.
I then polished the breach flange from 400 all the way to 3000 gr. Changed to the new valve assembly and a new valve spring. Removed the check valve and inserted a steel ball in its place. Rok also sent me an updated regulator while back.
Oh boy did those changes make a difference! Now it is holding pressure and the spread is less that 7fps for the first 50 shots I fired. No asthmatic wheezing, fast cycling, and a five shot group gives a 6mm center to center at 30 yards on a bench.
I am happy now. Rok has been amazing in providing guidance on how to resolve the issue. He has been responding to my emails the next day and his attitude has been nothing but positive and encouraging. He said, “I’ll send you the new valve and if that does not fix it will send you a new breach block”. Either way I had confidence that would not have an expensive paper weight.
I am with the group of people that believe that excellent customer service, with fast part turnaround, and desire to resolve issues expeditiously will win all the time. I too have bought products from other main brand air rifle manufacturers were it took weeks to get an email response and for parts….

Thank you for the excellent measurements image! And the amount of exposed valve stem is the same?
